Eagle Claw Bronze Aberdeen 100ct Size 2

The Eagle Claw Bronze Aberdeen Size 2 hook is a go-to choice for panfish and crappie anglers who want a reliable, light-wire option that won't break the bank. This 100-count pack gives you plenty of hooks for a full season of bluegill, crappie, and other small gamefish, whether you're fishing live minnows, crickets, or soft plastics on a bobber or under a dock. The ringed eye design keeps your line secure, and the bronze finish blends in naturally in the water. Light-wire Aberdeen hooks are known for their fine point and forgiving bend—they hook cleanly without requiring heavy pressure, and they bend out rather than snap if you hang up, which is exactly what you want when you're sight-fishing shallow structure or working panfish beds.

Size 2 is the sweet spot for panfish. It's small enough to work well with live bait and ultralight lures, but substantial enough to handle solid fish and repeated casts without dulling. If you keep a tackle box or two ready for the water, a 100-count pack ensures you won't run short mid-trip. Eagle Claw has been making these hooks since 1926, and the Aberdeen pattern remains a standard in panfish boxes for good reason.

Stock your favorite rod, your backup kit, and your truck rod—100 count gets you covered. The ringed eye is easy to tie, and the bronze won't look out of place in clear or slightly stained water. Whether you're chasing crappie under a full moon or sight-casting to bluegill in shallow water, these hooks earn their place in a well-rounded panfish arsenal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Size 2 and other sizes in the Aberdeen line?

Size 2 is a medium-small hook suited to panfish and crappie. Smaller sizes (1, 4, 6) work better for tiny bait or ultralight presentations; larger sizes (8, 10, 1/0) are better for bigger panfish, live minnows, or slightly heavier tackle. Size 2 hits the balance most panfish anglers prefer.

Will a 100-count pack last a whole season?

For casual weekend fishing, yes—100 hooks is a substantial supply. If you fish frequently, pre-tie multiple rigs and rotate them so you always have backups ready. A 100-count pack is also ideal for keeping a spare supply in your truck, tackle box, or backup kit.

Are ringed-eye hooks better than open-eye for panfish?

Ringed-eye hooks are generally preferred for panfish because the ring design keeps your line in place and resists slipping under load. They're slightly easier to tie securely, especially when you're working fast on the water or under low light.

What kinds of bait and lures work well with Size 2 Aberdeens?

Size 2 Aberdeens work well with live minnows, crickets, grasshoppers, small soft plastics, and artificial panfish baits. The light wire and fine point make them suitable for both live-bait rigging and small-lure presentations.
