Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp L2196PU Circle Baitholder Hooks

A regulation-compliant inline circle hook that delivers rock-solid hook-ups on bait with dependable Lazer Sharp penetration.

The Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp L2196PU Circle Baitholder Hook is designed for anglers who rely on natural bait and demand consistent, legal, and fish-friendly hook performance. Built as a true non-offset inline circle hook, it is ideal for anglers fishing under circle-hook regulations while still wanting excellent bait-holding security.

Featuring dual bait slits on the shank, this hook locks soft and natural baits in place, reducing bait spin and premature loss when fishing in current or deeper water. The up-eye design allows for easy snelling and ensures a straight-line pull, helping the hook rotate cleanly into the corner of the fish’s mouth for reliable hook-ups and improved post-release survival.

Finished with Eagle Claw’s renowned Lazer Sharp forged point, the L2196PU offers the perfect balance of sharpness and durability, standing up to hard-mouthed species without rolling or dulling quickly. It’s a proven choice for estuary, inshore, and offshore bait fishing when targeting everything from snapper and mulloway to reef and pelagic species.
