Quick take
High-carbon steel octopus circle hooks in 100-pack, offset point for jaw-set penetration with live bait.
This is a 100-piece pack of black octopus circle hooks in size 4/0, made from carbon steel with an offset point and an up-eye forged shank. The black finish helps the hook blend in with the water, and the offset point is meant to turn the hook toward the jaw. It suits anglers fishing live or cut bait for bass, catfish, pike, muskie and salmon in fresh or salt water.
