- Octopus Baitholder Fishing Hooks, 120pcs Double Barbed High Carbon Steel Offset Circle Hooks Extra Sharp Bait Holder Live Bait Fish Hooks for Bass Catfish Walleye Freshwater Saltwater

For the most part these are nice hooks. They are sharp, the metal is strong and although others report they break I haven't found that to be the case. I really like the position of the bait holder barbs. Plenty of room to snell the line yet they hold the worm pretty well.On the down side, the quality control is a bit lacking. Several of the hooks are just fine, but some have eyes where the tag end is sticking up and even sharp. I can't use these for fear of the line being cut by the eye. That being said, I'm guessing 15-20 of the hooks had some type of defect. So, consider you're getting 100 very usable hooks and this is still an affordable option.Additional information - I found these do set themselves in the fish's mouth, but I also found they seem to tear the area more than other hooks. My experience is they seem to find the soft spot in the mouth of a walleye. It's more the size of the hook versus a poor design. Bottom line, I'd recommend going up a size (4 to 2) for walleye just so the hook catches deeper in the mouth.

These hooks are not Offset Circle hooks at all but simply octopus hooks with double barbs on the shank. The 3/0 size is incorrect as well as paired with a real 3/0 hook, looks closer to 2/0. Very thin hooks which probably wouldn't hold up well in deeper water and bigger fish. Do yourself a favor and just bypass this item and stick with the folks who are known for their quality.

I was waiting for these hooks for striper season here in the Northeast. Strength and quality seem acceptable (all barbs are small), but although labeled 4/0, they are the same dimensions as Eagle Claw 2/0 bait holder hooks I have. I may find a use for these hooks in future, but I am disappointed because they are far too small for saltwater striped bass. Now I have to shop (and wait!) again.

Excellent product. The hooks arrived sooner than expected so I was able to try them out. They were extremely sharp and bit deeply into the bony mouth of salmon. I crushed down the barb on the hook tip myself to facilitate easy extraction though because with the barb on function it doesn't want to let go. I watched many people lose fish to straightened hooks or hooks not set deeply enough but I didn't have any of those issues.

I bought the hooks because of the bait holder notches shown on the picture. However, the notches are poorly cut in the hooks. Most of them, the notches are barely there. There are some good ones, but too many are poor quality.

Some of the hooks has a manufactures defect it could break off and you can loose your fish

Used for trout fishing with powerbait dough and nightcrawlers and worked well. Did not lose any fish. Decent quality hooks and will use with live minnows for crappie later this year. I'm going to keep buying these hooks, such a great deal!

The material is so cheap,no resistance al all ,They breaking like a piece of glass....a big big 👎
