Understanding octopus fish hooks

Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp Octopus hooks are a real favorite among many keen New Zealand fishos, and for good reason. Picture this: you’re out near a rocky shoreline or drifting off a reef, targeting snapper or maybe a big, feisty kingfish. These hooks, built from forged high-carbon steel, are famous for being incredibly tough yet razor sharp—so when that dream fish bites, you’ll have the confidence to know your rig can handle it.

Why Anglers Like Them

One of the best things about Lazer Sharp Octopus hooks is their triangular needlepoint tip, which is crazy sharp and makes setting the hook almost effortless—just what you want when fish are finicky or current’s ripping. The offset bend and up-eye design make them easy to tie on with a snell knot, and they’re super reliable for helping keep bait right in the sweet spot of the hook. Whether you’re using pilllys, pilchards, squid, bits of shellfish, everything sits nicely and holds firm—even after a big strike from a snapper or kahawai.

Where They Shine in New Zealand

These hooks are used everywhere—from surfcasting off the beach to targeting snapper and trevally from a tinny or a big boat. If you’re fishing for gurnard or even blue cod down south, the wide gap is a real asset, and that extra sharpness means more hookups instead of missed chances. Plus, if you’re into catch-and-release, these hooks are a solid choice for hooking up especially if you use the right rigs.

The Go-To Choice

It’s easy to see why more and more Kiwi anglers reach for Lazer Sharp Octopus hooks. They’re tough, super sharp, and made to handle everything New Zealand’s waters throw at them. Whether you’re just starting out and want something reliable, or you’re chasing your next trophy fish with confidence, these hooks have you covered for all your fishing adventure
