Quick take
Size 5/0 red circle hooks for live bait and bottom fishing in fresh and saltwater.
Gamakatsu's red Octopus circle hook in size 5/0 comes in a six-pack, sized for bigger baits and heavier tackle. Its circle bend and curved point are built for bait fishing, and octopus is its named target species. The model number 221315 makes it easy to match when restocking.
