"I've used Eagle Claw hooks for over 50 years and have never had a problem hooking up with fish. With 8 line class World Records, I feel I am qualified to recommend these hooks as some of the best made anywhere. And the fact that they are 100% made in the USA make them my choice every time!"

Great hook for bass

Advantages: Ease of use, Style/Design, Performs well, Quality
"I am a casual bass fisherman - not hard core. I used to use a hook without a twist and I would lose 3 or 4 bass out of every 10. With the slight twist in the L042 Eagle claw hook I now get 9 out of 10 bass to the boat. And the hooks are, as advertised, Lazer Sharp."

"I use the L042 hook for live bait rigging for walleyes and smallmouth bass when I fish them in Canada and they work great. I use the size 8 and have caught some really nice walleyes and sm. bass on them, even caught a 45" muskie on that same size hook."

Excellent hooks at a great price

Advantages: Ease of use, Style/Design, Performs well, Value for money, Quality
"I own and operate a private fishing pond and I use the auto worm hooks almost exclusively when worm fishing and when gearing up others to go fishing. They consistently hook as many fish as any other hook on the market at a fraction of the cost. They have the automatic turning feature which helps set the hook on that lunker. The offset shank also delivers a unique action on the bait that other straight shanked hooks cannot match. I highly recommend them to any one doing any worm fishing."

L42's for walleye

,
November 30, 2010
By Cowboy2U
from Lafayette, IN
Advantages: Ease of use, Style/Design, Performs well, Value for money, catches more walleye
Disadvantages: Durability, will rust quickly! take out a few at a time!, needs more cowbell.
"After telling a gentleman what i expected from a walleye hook having never seen a hook made for walleye this is the hook he recommended. It is perfect. Size 10 for the smallest minnows, up to size 6 for the 6" chubs. I get hoosets more often and better when i just reel this hook in to set the hook. I know it sounds strange but i feel like the hook bypasses mouth meet when jerked on too quickly. I just reel until i get a good pressure built and pop it for the set while reeling. Large eye for threading when cold is a bonus! Will rust in a heart beat, thus the 4 star. If you can find them, stores charge up to 1.99 for 6. 100 for under 9.00 is a steal."

Advantages: Performs well, Quality
"If you have not used these hooks you must try them. I have used them from catching huge flatheads to multiple Saltwater species and in between. These are some of the strongest and sharpest hooks on the market and have never let me down in any situation."

excellent to prevent snags and weeding up

Advantages: Ease of use, Style/Design, Performs well, Quality
"I fish primarily inshore marsh areas for speckled trout, flounder and red drum. These areas are very weedy and full of oyster beds, and the weedless hooks really help prevent snagging and getting the hook weeded up. I fish it texas rigged with a bullet head sinker 15" above the hook, whether using live bait or soft plastics."

Live Bait Fishing

By HookedOnSmallmouth
from TN and AL
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Value for money, Quality
"I have been using Eagle Claw L042 hooks (for several years. I fish with live bait for smallmouth, largemouth, stripers, and hybrids. I like sizes 4 and 2 best for big smallmouth and largemouth. I like sizes 1 through 3/0 for stripers and hybrids. These hooks are the best I have ever found for fishing live bait and the price is great."

Advantages: Ease of use, Style/Design, Performs well, Value for money, Quality, cost effective
"My wife and I have been using these hooks to toss Senkos for years. They are light so the worm action is not disturbed and they are inexpensive enough so one does not feel the need to rip out the fishes throat to get a dollar hook back. If the fish swallows the hook, just cut off the line and turn 'em loose. The hook will dissolve in short order. They work great ... no problem with hooking up. A good buy."
