Eagle Claw Bronze Offset Hook 100 Size 2/0
The Eagle Claw Bronze Offset Hook 100 Size 2/0 is a workhorse catfish rig built on a forged shank that handles hard-fighting bottom feeders without compromise. With a ringed eye for secure knot attachment and an offset design that naturally turns the hook point toward your target, these are purpose-built for live bait and cut bait presentations in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. Coming in a bulk 100-pack, they're the economical choice for anglers who fish multiple lines or want to stock up for a season of catfishing.
The offset configuration—where the eye and shank don't align with the point—has been a catfish angler's advantage for decades. It improves hook-up rates by angling the point inward, making it harder for catfish to shake free during the head-shaking runs that test both fish and fisher. The forged construction adds backbone for setting into the harder mouths of big catfish without bending or breaking, and the bronze finish resists corrosion in freshwater environments.
If you're serious about catfish, you know that having the right hook in quantity matters. Whether you're running a setline at dawn, soaking baits for channel cats at dusk, or fishing a noodling hole, the 2/0 size covers a wide range of baits and target sizes. At 100 hooks per pack, you've got a season's worth of rigs without breaking the bank.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size catfish will the 2/0 hook handle?
The 2/0 is a versatile mid-range size suitable for channel catfish, smaller blue cats, and flatheads in the 5–30+ pound range, depending on the bait and fishing method. The offset design and forged shank provide the backbone for solid hook sets across a broad spectrum of catfish species.
Are these hooks suitable for live bait or cut bait?
Yes. The offset hook design and ringed eye work equally well with live baits (bluegill, shad, shiners) and fresh-cut offerings (chicken liver, skipjack, mullet). The forged construction ensures reliable performance either way.
Why choose an offset hook for catfish?
The offset design angles the point inward toward the eye, which naturally turns the hook point toward the fish's mouth during the strike. This geometry improves penetration and reduces the chance that a head-shaking catfish will throw the hook during the fight.
What does the ringed eye mean?
A ringed eye has a slight ring or ridge at the base, which provides extra grip and security for your knot. This prevents the knot from sliding and slipping, a valuable feature when battling hard-fighting catfish on setlines or rod-and-reel.
