Gamakatsu’s Octopus 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 features Gamakatsu’s trademark sharpness that is “sticky-sharp” right out of the package and forged for unparalleled strength.
