Tru Turn Boss Kat Hook Black Nickle Size 5/0 12ct

The Tru Turn Boss Kat Hook in black nickel is a dedicated catfish hook designed for anglers targeting bigger bottom feeders. This 5/0 size strikes the balance between handling substantial baits and setting reliably in a catfish's bony mouth—a proven dimension for channel cats, blues, and flatheads across most US waters. You get a dozen per pack, so you'll have backups rigged and ready when the action heats up or a snag claims a line.

Black nickel finish resists corrosion better than bare steel, which matters when you're soaking hooks in live wells, tackle boxes, or salty catfish habitat for extended sessions. The offset design—a hallmark of catfish and bait-holder hooks—keeps your live or cut bait positioned naturally in the water and improves hooksets when a cat crushes it.

Whether you're drifting the river at night, anchored over a deep hole, or chunking shad from the bank, a reliable dozen-pack of catfish hooks is non-negotiable. Tru Turn's Boss Kat line is built for the work, not the hype. Stock a pack and focus on fishing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 5/0 size right for catfish?

Yes. 5/0 is a standard catfish hook size that works well for channel cats, blues, and flatheads. It accommodates live and cut baits without being so large that small to medium catfish struggle to take it.

What does black nickel finish do?

Black nickel plating improves corrosion resistance compared to bare steel, protecting the hook when exposed to saltwater, fresh water, or humid storage. It also reduces light reflection, which some anglers prefer in clear water.

Can I use these hooks for other fish species?

These hooks are designed for catfish, but the offset/bait-holder design and 5/0 size can work for other large bait-fed species. Always match your hook size to your target fish and bait.

How many hooks are in a pack?

Each pack contains 12 hooks, giving you plenty for a full session or multiple rigs.
