One of Gamakatsu’s most popular and versatile hooks, the Gamakatsu Octopus Hook is used in a wide range of fishing applications and recognized for its superior sharpness and durability. The forged construction and short shank create an incredibly strong hook that is ideal for drop shot and wacky rig presentations. Crafted with an upturned eye and an offset bend, the Gamakatsu Octopus Hook comes ready to catch fish straight out of the package.

Comments: My favorite catfishing/saltwater live bait hook. Works great for catfish and even better for sand crabs and mud minnows.

Comments: I don't know what it is, but I have had no problems with the size 4 octopus hooks for wacky rigging and dropshotting. People say use sizes 2,1 1/0, and/or 2/0 because its a bigger or stronger hook. The size 4 is super strong for whatever reason, and I have no problem pulling fish out of grass when wacky rigging. I have tried hooks meant for that style of fishing and I have lost fish when I wouldn't have with these hooks. Also senkos and other senko clones don't tear as easily with smaller hooks. Overall, I have been very satisfied with these hooks and have no incentives to switch because you can find these hooks anywhere for cheap.

Comments: These are the best hooks to use with wacky rigged worms. I use a 1/0 for 4 inch senko style worms. Hook up ratio is incredible.

Comments: This hook in a size #4 or #6 is a great hook for drifting beads for Steelhead !!! Run the bead loose to the hook or peg it about an inch up the line, either way works great.

Comments: Best wacky rig hook ever made besides the owner wacky hooks (green ones) I catch just about 98% of the fish that hit my senkos with this hook with is a lot better hookup than the gamakatsu wicked wacky hook that I was previously using. I lost to many fish on that rig I believe because of the weedgaurd. My preferred size is the 2/0 seems to work well I like using the biggest hook I can get away with.
