Overview
Dr.Fish's 100 pack octopus circle hooks are size #8, made from high carbon steel with a red finish, weighing 0.42 ounces for the full pack. They are built for saltwater and freshwater bait fishing where a bulk supply of one hook size is useful.
Octopus-style circle hooks combine a short shank with a curved, inward-turning point, a shape suited to live and cut bait presentations. The 100-count pack keeps a single size on hand for re-rigging often, and the red finish is a cosmetic detail rather than a strength or coating claim.

- Red octopus circle hook style

Who it's for
Bait anglers who fish live or cut bait in saltwater or freshwater and go through hooks quickly enough to want a bulk pack. It suits anyone standardizing on size #8 rather than someone who wants an assortment of sizes.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 100 hooks per pack for repeat re-rigging
- High carbon steel holds a sharp point
- Size #8 suits small to mid bait fishing
- Pack sold in a single size only
- No shank length or eye style listed
Performance notes
High carbon steel gives the hooks a hard point that holds an edge, and the octopus circle shape is designed to catch in the corner of a fish's mouth as it swims off with the bait, a behavior generally associated with reduced gut-hooking on live bait rigs. At 100 pieces per pack, the value comes from not running out mid-trip rather than any single-hook feature.
