The Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook is a top hook that penetrates super fast and deep after the bait is taken. Due to its special shape this hook always remains perfectly in place during the retrieve. This hook is guaranteed to reduce the number of misses and losses! Another big advantage of the hook shape is that it almost always ends up in the corner of the fish’s mouth. This makes it much easier to unhook the fish. The raised eye makes the Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook perfect for use in making leaders. The inwardly curved hook point is at a 90-degree angle to the hook shank, allowing the fish to be hooked quickly and correctly!
