Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook Black Inward Turned Point

Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook — Black, Inward Turned Point — Reliable Self-Setting for Big-Fish Fishing

The Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook (Kreishaken) with its inward turned point is built for anglers targeting large fish in both freshwater and saltwater — delivering a nearly automatic hook-set with every bite.

Inward Turned Point for Near-Automatic Hook-Sets

The sharply inward turned point is the defining feature of this hook: as a fish takes the bait and turns, the hook rotates naturally in the mouth and seats itself at the corner — requiring minimal strike effort from the angler. This geometry greatly reduces deep hooking, making unhooking faster and safer for catch-and-release situations.

Built for Big Fish in Fresh and Salt Water

Gamakatsu's robust construction means this hook handles the power of large freshwater species like wels catfish as well as hard-running saltwater targets such as large cod. The wide gape accommodates whole baitfish, large pellets, and natural baits used in big-fish rigs, while the black coating blends into most bait presentations.
