VMC 9299 Octopus Hooks anchor a wide range of drift, float, and bait rigs when anglers target trout, salmon, steelhead, and walleye. This versatile octopus pattern pairs an offset bend with a turned-up eye to improve snelling and leader alignment for eggs, beads, minnows, and cut bait. Forged from high-carbon steel, the hook holds shape under pressure, while the cut point bites quickly on light takes and drives clean penetration. Known for a strong price-to-quality balance, the 9299 remains a dependable choice across rivers, lakes, and Great Lakes tributaries.Specifications and Features:Offset octopus pattern improves hook-up consistencyTurned-up eye supports clean snells and leader connectionsForged high-carbon steel for strength and durabilityCut point for fast penetration on subtle bites
