FishTrip Double Barbed Baitholder Hooks 100 Pack

Overview

FishTrip's baitholder hooks come 100 to a pack in a red-coated carbon steel finish, size 8, with the double-barbed long-shank offset pattern built to hold bait like worms or cut bait in place.

The barbs on the shank behind the hook point are there to grip natural bait rather than to hook fish, which is what separates a baitholder pattern from a plain hook. A long shank and offset bend combine to make the hook easier to remove after a catch, and give bait more surface to sit against on the cast. Carbon steel keeps the point sharp under repeated bait rigging but needs drying and storage care to avoid rust.

• 100 count, size 8 baitholder hooks
• Double barbed, long shank, offset design
• Carbon steel construction
• Red finish

Who it's for

Suits anglers fishing live or cut bait for panfish, catfish, or general freshwater species who go through hooks in volume. Anglers who fish artificial lures exclusively have no use for the bait-holding barbs here.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The double barbs behind the point keep worms and cut bait from sliding down the shank on the cast or retrieve, while the offset bend is meant to improve hookup angle on the strike. Carbon steel holds an edge but should be rinsed and dried after use to limit rust.
