The present invention relates to a fishing tackle for catching Octopodidae species such as Octopus ochellatus or Octopus minor and, more specifically, to a fishing tackle for catching Octopodidae species, which can be used during a mating period of the Octopodidae species. The fishing tackle for catching Octopodidae species comprises: an oval-shaped sinker which has a through-hole vertically formed at a central portion thereof; a branch line inserted into the through-hole of the sinker and having a loop connected with a fishing line of a fishing rod and formed on an upper end thereof and an engaging hole formed in a lower end thereof and engaged on a lower portion of the through-hole by an engaging step; and a fishing gear in which the branch line extends upwardly from the apex of the sinker to be disposed between the loop and the sinker. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the sinker from getting caught on the sea floor bottom when casting the fishing tackle or setting the sinker and to enhance flexibilit
