Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook Black Inward-pointing

Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook Black – Inward-Pointing Point for Reliable Self-Setting

The Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook (inward-pointing) is a robust, sharp big-fish hook designed for both freshwater and saltwater angling, delivering an exceptionally consistent hook-up rate thanks to its aggressive circular geometry.

Self-Setting Hook Design That Works for You

The strongly inward-pointing tip is the defining feature of this hook: on the bite, the point rotates almost automatically into the corner of the fish's mouth. This circular motion minimises missed strikes and reduces deep hooking, making it a responsible choice for catch-and-release fishing as well as bait fishing where reliable strikes matter most.

Built for Big Fish in Any Water

Gamakatsu's robust construction means this hook stands up to the powerful runs of large freshwater species like wels catfish and to hard-fighting saltwater targets such as large cod. The black coating blends into a range of bait presentations and resists corrosion well in both fresh and salt water. The wide hook gap accommodates natural baits, live- and dead-bait rigs, and pellets with equal ease.

Choose the Right Variant

The Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook range covers several hook-type and point configurations. Select the version that best matches your target species and technique:

• Octopus Circle Hook – Inward-Pointing (current product): aggressively inward-pointing tip for maximum self-setting action; ideal for wels catfish on live or dead bait, cod on jig rigs, and offshore bycatch species including octopus

• Octopus Circle Hook – Inward Turned Point: similar circular geometry with a slightly different point angle; suited to comparable big-fish applications

• Circle Hook (standard): wider-gap circle hook without the octopus-style offset; favoured for bottom fishing and ledger rigs targeting large freshwater and saltwater species
