What’s your favorite type of circle hook for cats? Octopus circle? What size? Does it make a difference when using live bait or cut bait?

Yes, a team catfish octopus circle hook in 7/0 or 8/0 that’s my preference. Those hooks have a nice wide gap so they work great for either live or cut bait. Just what I have had success with, I’m sure there’s a ton of great choices!

I use 8/0 in 3 different hooks and can’t tell much difference in performance. I use TC double action, WS Octopus, and WS Triple Threats. I like all 3 but my preference is the Triple Threats cuz they are offset, wide gapped, and also have a bent eye for snell knots.

Team Catfish 8/0 Circle, and they are not offset but a pair of pliers or vice will do the trick if offset is what you want.

Team catfish double action. Then jackhammers if they don't set.
If the fish don't bite your not baiting right...

Non-offset true circle hooks, especially salt water tuna type hook, very strong for their size.

When fishing for trophy catfish only Gamakatsu Big Cat Circles in 12/0 will do.
