Quick take
Pre-rigged circle hook leader rigs with stainless steel leaders ready to tie to your main line.
This is a 25-piece set of black 2/0 circle hooks, each already tied to a wire leader with a knife-edge point and an offset design. The pre-rigged setup suits bottom fishing for catfish, so you can clip one on and get a bait down without tying leaders at the water. A mid-size hook like this fits anglers working freshwater catfish spots or surf and bottom rigs.
Best for
- Catfish and shark fishing with live bait
