The Surf and Sound Hook at a Quarter Each

Bottom rigs eat hooks. You lose them to structure, to fish, to snags, and to corrosion. At $0.25 per hook, the Eagle Claw 072 lets you stock a full season of bottom fishing for less than the cost of a single premium hook pack.

The 2X long shank is not just about removing hooks from fish. It keeps the bait away from the eye where the leader ties, preventing cut-offs from toothy fish. The offset point grabs and holds bottom species that inhale the bait. Six sizes cover everything from small croaker hooks to larger drum and flounder rigs.

2X Long Shank

The extended shank makes hook removal fast and clean, especially important when bottom fishing produces high volumes of fish. The longer shank also prevents toothy species from biting through your leader near the hook eye.

2X Strength

Double-strength wire handles the strain of pulling fish out of structure and current. The 072 does not flex under the loads that bottom fishing produces. This matters when a red drum or flounder makes a run for cover.

Sold Individually by Size

Buy exactly the sizes and quantities you need. No paying for sizes you never use in a variety pack. At $0.25 each, you can stock 100 hooks for $25 and have a season's worth of bottom fishing covered.

How to Rig Eagle Claw 072 Hooks for Bottom Fishing

1. Select hook size based on target species and bait

2. Tie or snell the hook to your leader through the ringed eye

3. Build a double drop bottom rig with two hooks at different heights

4. Bait with cut mullet, shrimp, or squid

5. Cast into the surf or lower to the bottom from a pier or boat

6. Let the bait soak and wait for the rod to load before setting the hook

What size should I use? +
Size 1-2 for smaller species like croaker and spot. Size 3-4 for flounder and sea trout. Size 5-6 for larger drum and bluefish. Match the hook to your bait size. Our hook size chart has detailed recommendations.
Is this good for surf fishing? +
That is its primary application. The long shank, offset point, and bronze finish are designed for surf and sound bottom fishing. Works perfectly with double drop bottom rigs. Our flounder guide covers surf rig setups.
Why long shank instead of standard? +
Long shank makes hook removal easier and faster, which matters when bottom fishing produces high catch volume. The extra length also keeps toothy fish away from your leader knot. See our hook guide for shank comparisons.
What bait works best? +
Cut mullet, shrimp, squid strips, bloodworms, and sand fleas all work on the 072. Match your bait to your target species and local conditions. Our bait guide covers bait selection.
Is bronze finish good for saltwater? +
Bronze provides moderate corrosion resistance. The hooks will eventually corrode in saltwater, but at $0.25 each they are essentially disposable. Rinse with fresh water between trips for maximum life. Our hook guide covers hook finishes.
Can I use these for pier fishing? +
Yes. The same double drop bottom rig that works from the surf works from a pier. Lower the rig to the bottom and let the bait soak. Our bottom fishing guide covers pier technique.
