Eagle Claw Nickle Baitholder 10ct Size 2

The Eagle Claw Nickle Baitholder is a go-to hook for catfish anglers and anyone fishing live or cut bait in freshwater. This 10-count pack of Size 2 hooks features an offset shank design that keeps your bait positioned and working naturally, while the barbed shank helps hold soft baits securely on the hook. The nickle finish resists corrosion in freshwater conditions, and the ringed eye makes it easy to tie on quickly at the water.

Whether you're targeting channel cats, flatheads, or other bottom feeders in lakes, rivers, or ponds, these offset baitholder hooks are a reliable staple. The Size 2 is versatile enough for medium baits and general catfishing applications. Stock a few packs in your tackle box—they're affordable, durable, and trusted by generations of anglers.

Eagle Claw has been making fishing hooks since 1925, and their baitholder designs are engineered to keep bait in place without slipping or rotating on the shank. The offset bend improves hookset geometry and reduces the chance of fouling against vegetation or rocks.
