catved fishing hook Hawaiian Black Fish w/ Engravings made with unique boar bone and wood Hand-Carved Hawaiian Fish Hook Statue

You can use spinning reels, but as the catfish tends to grow large and fight hard, make sure that the one you are using can handle it

Until you get the fish into the net, though, they hold very well (for fish over about 7" - I cannot keep the 5-6" trout from wriggling off single barbless hooks)

Pros High quality Great value for money Very good price Extra-large 150-piece pack Six different sizes Quality and field-tested for reliability, durability, and strength Very good sharpness Designed for a lower mortality rate and to assist anglers to hold more fish Can be used for freshwater and saltwater Closed eye is easy to snell Very sharp Sturdy, reusable plastic case Cons Steel may not be strong enough for long-term saltwater use Limited small sizes Not very effective at self-hooking Large hooks can be hard to fit into the case Some of the eyes of the hooks are not closed properly 3

I've used them (own a dozen or so in several sizes) but have never taken a cow size BFT on them
