Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook Black

Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook Black — Self-Setting Hook Action for Big-Fish Angling

The Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook in black is a purpose-built hook for anglers targeting large fish in both fresh and saltwater. Its distinctive geometry delivers reliable, near-automatic hook-sets without the need for a hard strike.

Inward-Turned Point for Reliable Hook-Sets

The strongly inward-curved point is the defining feature of a circle hook (Kreishaken): as a fish takes the bait and moves away, the hook rotates and the point catches in the corner of the mouth almost by itself. This greatly reduces deep-hooking and improves both catch rate and the condition of released fish.

Sharp, Robust Construction for Heavy-Duty Use

Gamakatsu forges these hooks to handle the raw power of large freshwater and saltwater species. Whether you're wels catfish fishing with live or dead bait and pellets on rivers, targeting big cod from a deep-sea jig rig, or picking up bycatch such as octopus alongside jigging lures, the hook's wide gape and solid build hold firm under sustained pressure.

Choose the Right Variant

The Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook range is available in several configurations. Select the type and point style that best matches your target species and fishing method:

• Circle Hook — standard wide-gape circle profile; versatile option for big-game freshwater and saltwater species including wels catfish, large cod, and general sea fishing [current product]

• Circle Hook (Inward-turned point) — circle profile with an explicitly inward-turned point; ideal where extra mouth-corner hook-up reliability is required

• Octopus Circle Hook (Inward turned point / Inward-pointing) — combines the shorter-shank octopus style with circle-hook geometry; well suited to bycatch rigs and multi-hook sea setups targeting octopus and similar species on jig systems
