Quick take
Offset worm hooks that keep soft baits centered and reduce line twist, sized for panfish and small trout.
This Gamakatsu offset worm hook is a 2/0 with a closed eye and a forged steel build in a bronze finish. The offset shank holds a soft plastic worm in place for Texas-style rigging. It comes as a 25-pack, which suits anglers who rig plastics often and want spares in the box.
Best for
- Live worms and soft baits for panfish
