what is the difference?

they looked the same

i was in BPS and the guys there couldn't tell me either?

thanks...

I believe an o'shaughnesy hook has no offset, but the bend has slight angles to it as opposed to a round bend.

There is a slight difference in the shape of the hook, in the curve.

Due to the shape of the curve, I find it slightly more difficult to get the worm perfectly straight on an offset O'shaughnessy than a "standard" offset round bend.

thanks..

i thought it looked like there was a slight twist/bend.

glad i went ahead and got the standard offset.
