Eagle Claw Extra Long Bronze Hook 10ct Size 2

The Eagle Claw Extra Long Bronze Hook 10ct Size 2 is a forged, offset-shank hook built for serious catfish and live-bait fishing. These bronze hooks come in a 10-count pack, giving you reliable tackle for a day on the water or stocked for the season. The extra-long shank design accommodates live baitfish, eels, and other natural offerings, while the offset configuration helps set the hook solidly in a catfish's jaw—critical when you're battling a big cat in heavy current or snags.

Eagle Claw has been making hooks since 1925, and their reputation for dependable, affordable tackle is well earned. The 2x-strong forging means these hooks won't straighten or break under the load of a hard-fighting catfish, and the bronze finish resists corrosion in freshwater and brackish environments. Whether you're fishing from a bank, a boat, or wade-fishing a creek, Size 2 strikes a practical balance: large enough to keep smaller fish off the line, yet manageable for cast and detect with typical catfish rigs.

Stock a few packs in your tackle box. When you find a productive hole or a proven catfish spot, you'll be grateful to have quality hooks within reach—and at a price point that won't make you hesitate to upgrade your rig mid-session.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an extra-long shank hook used for?

An extra-long shank accommodates larger live baits—shiners, eels, live bluegill—and makes it easier to remove the hook safely from a fish's mouth. The longer lever arm also improves hook-setting force.

Will these hooks work for catfish?

Yes. The Size 2, 2x-strong forged design is well suited to catfish fishing with live or cut bait. The offset shank helps the hook penetrate and hold under the thrashing and headshaking of a hooked cat.

What does 2x strong mean?

2x strong refers to the thickness and material composition of the wire. These hooks are forged heavier than standard-gauge hooks in the same size, making them more resistant to bending or breaking under heavy load.

Are these hooks suitable for saltwater?

These are bronze-finished freshwater hooks. For extended saltwater or brackish use, consider Eagle Claw's stainless or specialty saltwater offerings, as bronze can corrode in higher-salinity environments.
