Dr.Fish 100 Pack Octopus Circle Hooks, Saltwater & Freshwater Fishing Review
Our verdict
At $8.99 for 100 hooks, the Dr.Fish Octopus Circle Hooks pack works out to under nine cents per hook, and a 4.4 star average across 304 reviews shows the bulk-buy approach holds up for anglers who lose hooks to snags and toothy fish on a regular basis.
Check price on AmazonBest for
Anglers who fish bait rigs often enough to burn through hooks, and who want a deep supply of a single size on hand rather than restocking small packs every few trips to the coast or the lake.
Skip if
Skip this if you only fish a handful of times a year, need a specific hook size the pack does not cover, or prefer a hook backed by thousands of reviews rather than a few hundred.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Dr.Fish 100 Pack Octopus Circle Hooks is built around volume. A hundred hooks at #8 for $8.99 puts the per-hook cost low enough that losing a few to a snag or a break-off barely registers, which matters for circle hook fishing where you are often bait soaking near structure.
The hooks are high carbon steel at 0.42 ounces total weight for the pack, finished in red, and shaped as an octopus-style hook that is common for both saltwater and freshwater bait presentations. That combination of steel type and hook style is what circle hook fans look for when they want a point that holds without needing to set the hook hard, which is the whole appeal of the octopus circle design for catch and keep or catch and release fishing.
Against the alternatives in this category, the pack undercuts single-hook and small-count listings on price per unit by a wide margin, though it also carries far fewer reviews than established names like Gamakatsu or Berkley. A 4.4 star average on 304 reviews is a solid signal for a budget bulk pack, even if it has not built up the review volume of the bigger brands yet.
Pros
- 100 hooks per pack keeps the cost near nine cents per hook at $8.99
- 4.4 star average across 304 reviews suggests consistent quality for a bulk product
- High carbon steel construction matches what pricier single hooks use
- Octopus circle hook style suits both saltwater and freshwater bait rigs
- Light overall pack weight at 0.42 ounces makes it easy to carry a full spare set
- Single #8 size across the whole pack simplifies restocking one rig size
Cons
- 304 reviews is a fraction of the volume behind established brands like Gamakatsu
- No bought-last-month figure listed, so recent demand is hard to gauge
- Fixed at #8 with no size range in this listing
- Red hook color will not suit anglers who prefer a plain or black finish

Performance notes
A #8 octopus circle hook at 0.42 ounces for the full 100-count pack sits in light to medium bait fishing territory, sized for panfish, smaller bass, and similar catches rather than big game. High carbon steel is the same base material used across most of the hooks in this comparison set, including the pricier Gamakatsu option, so the metal itself is not where the savings come from. The circle shape is what defines how this hook behaves on a rig: it is designed to slide toward the corner of the mouth when a fish pulls rather than needing a hard hookset, which reduces gut-hooking on bait presentations. Buying 100 of a single size makes sense for anglers who rig the same way trip after trip and want to swap out a bent or dulled hook without digging through a mixed assortment.
What buyers say
A 4.4 star average across 304 reviews puts this pack in solid but not top-tier territory compared to the 4.8 star, 2,500-review Gamakatsu listing in this set. The review count is modest next to the bigger names, which likely reflects a newer or smaller-volume listing rather than a quality gap, since the star average itself holds up well. No bought-last-month figure is listed for this product, so it is harder to read current demand momentum the way it can be read for the alternatives that do report that number.

Frequently asked questions
How many hooks are in the Dr.Fish 100 Pack?
The pack contains 100 octopus circle hooks, all in size #8, giving a per-hook cost of roughly nine cents at the $8.99 listed price.
What material are these hooks made from?
They are high carbon steel, the same base material category used by higher-priced options like the Gamakatsu hooks in this comparison, just packaged in much larger bulk quantities.
Are circle hooks good for both saltwater and freshwater?
Yes, the octopus circle style is a common choice across both environments for bait fishing, since the design works the same way regardless of water type, sliding into the corner of the mouth as the fish moves.
