Gamakatsu SW Inline Octopus Circle Hook

Gamakatsu SW Inline Octopus Circle Hook — Self-Setting Bite Conversion for Big-Game Fishing

The Gamakatsu SW Inline Octopus Circle (SW stands for Salt Water) hook is built for anglers who target large species in both fresh and salt water — combining a wide hook gap with a sharply inward-turned point that does the hooking work for you.

Deeply Inward-Turned Point for Reliable Hook-Ups

The defining feature of this circle hook is its strongly inward-curved point. On a run, the point rolls into the corner of the fish's mouth almost automatically, reducing deep hooking and increasing solid, fish-friendly hook-ups — a clear advantage when targeting powerful species that require confident bite conversion.

Versatile Across Fresh and Salt Water

Designed equally for offshore and freshwater use, these hooks perform well when targeting wels catfish in rivers or when used for bycatch rigs offshore — octopus being a classic example the hook name references. The robust, sharp construction handles the demands of both environments without compromise.

Choose the Right Variant

This hook is available in red. Select the pack size that matches your intended session length and target species — larger sizes suit bigger fish and heavier bait presentations, while smaller sizes are better suited to finesse rigs or smaller-mouthed species.
