Eagle Claw Bronze Baitholder Hook 100ct Size 2/0
The Eagle Claw Bronze Baitholder Hook in Size 2/0 is a workhorse for catfish anglers and live-bait fishermen who need a reliable hook that keeps bait firmly in place. Built with a forged construction and finished in durable bronze, this offset-eye design holds live baitfish, crawfish, shiners, and other natural offerings securely—critical when you're targeting catfish, stripers, pike, or other aggressive species that demand solid hooksets. The 100-count pack gives you plenty of hooks for a full season on the water without worrying about running short mid-trip.
What sets baitholder hooks apart is their dual-barb design positioned above the bend. Those two barbs work together to cradle your bait and prevent it from sliding down toward the bend during the cast or once it hits the water. That means your presentation stays clean, your bait stays positioned where you want it, and you spend less time re-rigging. The sharp point is ready to penetrate on the strike, and the offset ringed eye accommodates both traditional knots and quick-connect rigs.
Size 2/0 sits in the medium-to-large range, making it ideal for chunked bait, whole shiners, or crawfish when you're targeting bigger catfish or similar fish. The bronze finish resists corrosion better than bare steel, which matters when you're fishing saltwater, brackish, or heavily tannic waters. Whether you're fishing from a riverbank at dusk, a farm pond, or a catfish hole in the South, these hooks deliver straightforward, dependable performance without fuss.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size bait works best with Size 2/0 baitholder hooks?
Size 2/0 is designed for medium to large live baitfish, such as whole shiners, mullet, or crawfish, as well as cut or chunked bait. It's a good choice for catfish, stripers, pike, and other fish that take substantial offerings.
Why do baitholder hooks have those two barbs?
The dual barbs positioned above the bend grip and hold your bait securely in place, preventing it from sliding down the shank during casting or while the rig is in the water. This keeps your presentation tight and reduces the need to re-rig between casts.
Is the bronze finish better than regular steel for freshwater fishing?
Bronze resists corrosion and discoloration, which is especially valuable in brackish, saltwater, or heavily tannic freshwater environments. For standard freshwater use, it offers longevity and a cleaner appearance over time compared to bare steel.
What does "offset" mean on the eye of this hook?
An offset eye is angled slightly away from the shank, which can help with hook penetration and makes it easier to tie knots or attach quick-connect rigs without the line interfering with the bait.
