New version sucks badDon't buy them if they're in the red package,they changed them. They don't hold fish well and they dull easily.

Check These Hooks for SharpnessThe overall quality of these hooks is excellent with one exception. They are not truly sharp. I purchased the 25 pack #4 hooks and checked them for sharpness, much to my surprise they were not truly sharp. If a hook will not pass the "fingernail test" they are not ready for use.
Not one of the hooks out of the 25 would pass this test.
Inside of a fish's mouth is mostly a hard bony like plating that requires a hook of needle like sharpness to penetrate this hard slick surface. None of these hooks would have done so without some precision sharpening.
Other than this issue these hooks are of excellent quality. Had I not sharpened these hooks I know I would have missed some fish due to hook "slippage".

Great hooks for the priceI love these hooks. They're sharp and strong. I use the #2, and repair my Lindy L'il Guy worm rigs with them. I also make spinner rigs, and these hooks are perfect for rigs. Affordable, too.I highly recommend them.

excellent productI use these xps Octopus hooks when I am making my own worm harnesses for walleye fishing. The hooks
hold great and hook the fish mostly in the side of the mouth.They work great.price is good...product is strong
and the only thing necessary is to tie good strong knots.

Great product.I used these hooks for salmon this year. I bent several other more expensive brands on these hard running fish, not these, they held up great and stayed sharp. Will definitely buy more for next year.

Great for Wacky RiggingA very nice bargain for wacky rigging. I you like to wacky rig, get a pack of these. I've used the more expensive "Weedless" and they're not too weedless by the way. I like to use these, cause with wacky rigging, your'e going to go through a lot of hooks and worms, so save some money and but a 20 pack of these. Then spend those savings on more worms or stick baits
Is this XPS Octopus hook the same as the XPS Octopus/Dropshot hook that was sold in Bass Pro stores a year or so ago ??

What size for Smallmouth?
Judging by the ratings of these hooks they should be good. I want to buy some but which size should I use for smallmouth?
Asked by: bassboy99
Depends on the lure. For senkos, a 1/0 works well. For drop shot, I would drop down a couple of sizes.

Recommended size?
Hello. I am willing to buy these hooks, but I don't know what size would be the best for 2-3/4" tubes and 5" wacky worms . Can anyone help me? (I was thinking about 2/0)
Thank you in advance.
Asked by: piscador
Most people use a Khale style hook for tube baits so I can't answer, but I use the 1/0 for senkos and it works great.

Asked by: Forester
