Fishing Tip - Off-Set Eye Hooks
May 28th, 2008
With Clam Chumming for Stripers in full swing now, the Gamakatsu Octopus hooks are THE most popular style hook used by our customers for this style of fishing. These hooks happen to have an off-set eye and work best when they are SNELLED on a leader, as opposed to simply tying them on.
Straight eye hooks, like the Gamakatsu Octopus SE 4X hooks, for example, can be snelled OR tied on… there is no off-set to worry about!
Take a look at the picture below and you can see the difference in the eye’s of the hooks.
