Although I must say that the design is way better than a standard octopus hook(in my opinion). Now I use the VMC #7356. No offset and you can miss a couple bites here and there, but when you stick 'em you own 'em. Very similar shaped hook.

Just an opinion.



I was not aware of the similar VMC # 7356 sickle bend type hook.

Thanks.
