Description

Gamakatsu’s answered the call for a fine wire Octopus hook, the Octopus Light, for use in drop shot and trout fishing. With sizes from 3/O down to a size 8 there are dozens more applications where this hook will find favor. Gamakatsu already has a broad offering of Octopus-style hooks, 10 different styles to be exact, for use in fresh or saltwater. Gamakatsu’s Octopus Light features an offset point and beak point for optimal penetration with bait or plastics. The smaller diameter hook wire enhances hook penetration and is a certain advantage when fishing timid or light-biting fish. Like all Gamakatsu hooks, the Octopus Light features Gamakatsu’s trademark sharpness that is “sticky-sharp” right out of the package and forged for unparalleled strength.

Field Notes

A fine-wire octopus hook for rigging bait or soft plastics when you need quick penetration on light bites. It’s especially suited to drop shot presentations and trout fishing, but can also be used in many other finesse applications in fresh or saltwater.

Pros

  • Fine wire improves hook penetration
  • Offset/beak point helps secure hookups
  • Versatile for bait and plastics
  • Available in multiple sizes

Cons

  • Fine wire is less suited to heavy cover or very large fish
  • Not a lure, so it adds no action or attraction on its own
