The Gamakatsu Octopus Circle is purpose-built for deepwater bottom fishing and a top choice for anglers who prefer paternoster (dropper-style) rigs or cut bait setups. Its offset circle design ensures that as the fish takes the bait and the line comes tight, the hook naturally rotates into the corner of the mouth—delivering secure, lip-only hook-ups.
Perfect for “lazy” fishing styles, this hook shines when fished directly from a rod holder, as fish often hook themselves without the need for a strike. Tough, sharp, and dependable, the Octopus Circle is ideal for offshore species and bottom dwellers alike.
