Eagle Claw Nickle Baitholder 100ct Size 4

The Eagle Claw Nickle Baitholder Size 4 is a 100-count pack of reliable catfish and live bait hooks built to handle serious freshwater fishing. With a ringed eye design and offset shank, these hooks are purpose-built for anglers who want a dependable setup when live bait is on the menu. The nickel finish resists corrosion, and the barbed shank keeps bait and fish firmly in place—a no-nonsense choice for catfish, panfish, and other bottom feeders where hook security matters.

Eagle Claw has been a trusted name in fishing hardware for decades, and these baitholder hooks carry that reputation forward. The Size 4 sits in the middle of the range, making it versatile enough for everything from small live shiners to cut bait, yet small enough to work with natural presentations. The 100-count bulk pack means you'll have replacements on hand and won't run short mid-season. Whether you're fishing from a bank, boat, or wade, having a proven hook design in your tackle box eliminates one variable from the equation.

The offset design helps improve hookset geometry when fish bite, and the barbed shank design minimizes bait slip—especially important when you're working live baitfish in current or covering water over several hours. This is the kind of hook that works without demanding attention; it simply does the job it was engineered for.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between an offset baitholder hook and a straight-shank hook?

The offset design angles the hook point slightly inward, which helps create a more direct hookset angle when a fish takes the bait. The barbed shank also grips live bait more securely, reducing slippage and keeping your presentation consistent throughout the cast and retrieve.

Is Size 4 suitable for live minnows?

Size 4 works well with small to medium live baitfish like shiners, shad, and other natural offerings. It also handles cut bait effectively, making it a flexible choice for catfish, panfish, and other freshwater species.

Will the nickel finish hold up in saltwater?

These hooks are designed for freshwater use. For saltwater fishing, you'd want to look for stainless steel or other salt-specific finishes to ensure long-term corrosion resistance.

Why buy a 100-count pack?

Baitholder hooks get lost, bent, and replaced regularly during a season. A 100-count pack ensures you always have fresh, reliable hooks ready to tie on, without the frustration of running short mid-trip.
