Octopus Hooks

Octopus Hooks

Octopus Hooks are like circle or j hooks, except that the eye is bent backwards.

This is so that if you’re snelling the hook, the line can go straight down to the backside of the shank.

However, the tip of the hook is at the same angle as the eye, so that even if you tie a knot directly to the eye, it will still effectively hook into a fish’s mouth.
