I don't have any 4/0 or octopus hooks and I was gonna use some bait but I need a big hook because I'm fishing big cats from the bank Posted by jerry081010
vini_damiani on August 23, 2025 9:33 pm ehhhh, on a pinch a hook is a hook, but this looks like very thinn wire as this is meant for jigging, probably stuff like bass A large cat will bend that hook right out, also might make it harder to set as jig hooks are designed in a way that prioritizes the action

I personally wouldn’t. I prefer circle hooks octopus hooks.

A big enough cat will bend that hook and shake it out.

A big cat will bend this hook in no time at all.
