Eagle Claw O'Shaughnessy Large Eye SS 100 ct Size 5/0

The Eagle Claw O'Shaughnessy Large Eye SS 100 ct Size 5/0 is a heavyweight hook built for serious catfish, stripers, and saltwater applications where you need reliable steel and enough gape to handle big baits and bigger fish. The O'Shaughnessy pattern has proven itself for decades—a forged design with a slightly curved shank, strong in-turned eye, and the kind of durability that keeps it on the line when it matters. At size 5/0, this hook strikes the balance between holding substantial live bait and penetrating reliably on the set. The large eye design speeds rigging whether you're tying to mono, braided line, or wire, and it accommodates multiple wraps without binding.

Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in freshwater and salt, so your hooks stay strong across multiple seasons and won't weaken from rust at the eye or along the bend. The 100-count bulk pack keeps your tackle box stocked and makes sense for trot lines, limb lines, and any setup where you're deploying multiple rigs. This is working-angler inventory, not a small assortment—grab a pack and focus on the fishing.

If you trust O'Shaughnessy hooks and need a dependable size 5/0 in quantity, the stainless construction and large eye make this a natural reach for catfish specialists, saltwater anglers, and anyone running multi-hook setups where reliability and corrosion resistance matter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the O'Shaughnessy hook pattern best for?

The O'Shaughnessy is a time-tested pattern with a curved shank and in-turned eye, designed to handle catfish, stripers, and saltwater species. The wider gape and strong construction make it reliable for live bait presentations and situations where you need a hook that won't straighten under heavy pressure.

Why does stainless steel matter for fishing hooks?

Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion, so your hooks maintain their strength through repeated use, storage, and exposure to fresh or saltwater. This keeps the eye and bend intact longer than carbon steel, especially if you're leaving hooks in the water or storing them in humid conditions.

What does the large eye make easier?

A large eye design speeds rigging—you can tie on quickly with standard knots, wrap multiple times without binding, and work in low light or heavy conditions without fumbling. It's especially helpful when using heavier line or rigging multiple hooks in succession.

Is a 100-count bulk pack right for me?

Yes, if you run trot lines, limb lines, or any multi-hook setup, or if you fish regularly and want reliable inventory on hand. A bulk pack is also practical if you share tackle with fishing partners or stock a boat or cabin.
