Quick take
120 black nickel octopus hooks with double shank barbs, sized for worms to large baits.
This size 6 octopus circle hook comes in a 120-piece set, made of black high carbon steel with a needle point. Its double barbs on the shank help hold worms, minnows and soft plastics in place. Anglers after bass, pike, muskellunge and salmon can use it in freshwater lakes and rivers as well as inshore saltwater.
Best for
- Worms and minnows under a float
- Bottom rigs with cut bait
- Saltwater inshore species
Skip if
- You need circle hooks; these are offset and can hook deep
- You fish heavily in snags; the octopus point is more exposed
Strengths
- Double shank barbs hold worms and cut bait through the cast
- Curved octopus point hooks fast on the strike
- Assortment of 12 sizes covers panfish to catfish
Trade-offs
- Black nickel finish still rusts in saltwater; rinse after each use
- Double barbs make the hook harder to remove from deeply hooked fish
- Octopus design can foul on vegetation more easily than j-hooks
