Thread: Favorite Style Hook for Channels

Yall use some real big hooks for channel cats.How about posting some photo's of your channel cat catch.

8/0 wild wolf charlie brown octopus hooks. In red easier to find at nite. I've got a wild wolf 24/0 charlie brown I hang from my rear view mirror that gets some attention

I've been a catfisherman since the beginning and until about 2 years ago that's all I ever persued until I got the crappie bug. I have *alot* of cat gear and the only thing you will find other than snagging hooks in my bags are gamakatsu circle hooks. I started using circles about 8 or 9 years ago and after seeing the gamakatsus stacked up against the competition it was clear. I have never at any point had a hook failure with them.

1/0 2/0 circle hooks snelled on, here too. Very few deep hooks, none at all this year.

Caught my first Channel Cat in October at Sandy Point State Park on the Chesapeake in October on a 4/0 Gami circle and a chunk of leftover jersey piranha. Was fishing for stripers and got this nice fat 22".

always treble hook with danny king punch bait.

i always use circle hooks for catfishing i dont get hung up as much ....but i use from 3/0 to 10/0 circle hooks in the arkansas river in the river valley i have caught 3 lb channels on 10/0 circles baited up with 8 ounces of shad
