Quick take
120 black nickel octopus hooks with double shank barbs, sized for worms to large baits.
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
Fishing fit
