Quick take

High carbon steel circle hooks with offset point and self-penetrating design for live bait and bottom fishing.

This 50-count box of octopus-style circle hooks covers sizes 1/0 through 5/0, with a high carbon steel build and a black nickel coating for use in fresh and salt water. The rounded, non-J shape is designed to ride into the corner of a fish's mouth as it swims off, which suits live or natural bait. It fits anglers after bass, catfish, walleye, trout and striped bass.
