Eagle Claw Nickle Baitholder 100ct Size 6

The Eagle Claw Nickle Baitholder 100ct Size 6 is a workhorse hook for anglers who rely on live or cut bait to land catfish and other bottom feeders. These ringed-eye, offset hooks come nickel-finished for corrosion resistance and arrive in a bulk 100-count box—exactly what you need to keep your tackle box stocked for extended fishing trips or to have backups when you're wearing through hooks on rocky structure or snaggy bottoms.

Size 6 hits the sweet spot for catfish work: large enough to handle decent baits and hold up to aggressive strikes, yet refined enough to work with live shiners, bluegill, or prepared stink baits without being oversized. The offset design keeps your bait positioned naturally in the water column, and the barbed shank holds your offering securely without crushing it. Nickel plating adds durability in freshwater and brackish conditions, resisting corrosion longer than bare steel.

If you're a catfish angler, bank fisherman, or run trotlines, buying in bulk makes sense. A 100-count package keeps you fishing instead of retying every few minutes, and the per-hook cost is a fraction of grab-and-go packs. Whether you're soaking bait in a river, lake, or tailrace, these Eagle Claw hooks deliver the straightforward, dependable performance that's made the brand a staple in American tackle boxes for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size catfish can I catch with Size 6 baitholder hooks?

Size 6 is a versatile mid-range hook suited for catfish from a few pounds to well into double digits, depending on your bait choice and the waters you fish. It's large enough to handle good-sized shiners or chicken liver but not so big that you can't use smaller live baits when conditions call for a finesse approach.

Will the nickel plating hold up in saltwater or brackish conditions?

Nickel plating is designed primarily for freshwater. If you fish brackish or saltwater regularly, inspect your hooks frequently for signs of corrosion and consider replacing them more often than you would in pure freshwater.

How many hooks are in this package?

You get 100 hooks per box, which is ideal for stocking up or sharing with fishing buddies and means fewer runs to the tackle shop during prime catfish season.

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

The offset bend angles the hook point inward, positioning your bait more naturally in the water and improving hook-set angles on mouth corners. Baitholder hooks also feature a barbed shank to keep live or cut bait from sliding down the line during casting or when catfish mouth the offering before committing to a strike.
