I use "circle-octopus" sometimes, but mostly just octopus hooks, size 8/0 and higher.

I use Big Fun Catfish hook from Mustad or for small eater kitties I use size 1 or 1/0 bait hooks for cut bait. Live bait, I use bass hooks - wide gap worm hooks.

I've seen some really good hook up ratios by WWG with a thinner wire Kahle hook. It really penetrates and at a good angle.
I think the size is like 6/0 or 7/0 Eagle Claw

If knowledge is power and ignorance is bliss, then fishing must be somewhere in between.

Kahle hooks rule!!! Be it live Baitfish, Cutbait, or Frogs the Kahles are pretty much all I will use for them Red river Catfishes. They always hook up reliably, no special rods or technique needed!!!
