All Purpose Hooks
Octopus Circle 4x Strong, Straight Eye (Inline-point), TOURNAMENT LEGAL
To comply with new angling regulations in the Gulf of Mexico, we’ve redesigned and reinforced our most popular circle hook. The new 4X Strong Circle Hook is built for the toughest battles in the deep sea. The straight eye, NS black finish and inline point (not offset) complies with the new rules, but doesn’t reduce the hook’s effectiveness. This is the new“go-to”hook charter captains and professional anglers are using for deep dropping and reef and wreck fishing. Heavy up your rods, reels and line, because the 4X Strong Circle Hook will never give up when it comes to pulling snapper and monster grouper out of their fortified hangouts.

Octopus Circle 1x Strong, Out Barb
Will Gamakatsu’s new Octopus Circle“Outbarb”1xStrong hook change angling forever? There’s a strong possibility, and for good reason. Traditional hooks place the barb on the inside of the hook bend. With certain techniques, like jigging, chunk baiting, and bottom fishing, if your line becomes limp or goes slack it could get entangled by the hook barb and possibly be nicked or cut. The outbarb design eliminates that risk. But there’s more. Tests have proven that when an outbarb is combined with Gamakatsu’s circle hook design, it results in deeper penetration and a higher houotoskidreetoefntthioenhroaotek.bTehnindkwaibllocuotmite: ainbtaorcboonntatchtewinitnhewr shiadteeovef raflheosohkitbetonudcihsessoamnedwphreavtepnrtotmecotveedm.
