Quick take
Multi-size saltwater circle hooks with inward-bending points for catch-and-release and live-bait fishing.
This 1/0 circle hook comes in a 20-piece pack from a set that runs from size 1 through 10/0, made of carbon steel with a needle point. Its wide gap and in-line shape suit live bait fished with the hook set at the corner of the mouth. Anglers after bass, catfish, trout or tuna on spinning or casting gear can use it in saltwater or freshwater.
Best for
- Catch-and-release saltwater fishing with live or cut bait
- Catfish and large bottom-feeder rigs
- Reducing gut-hooked fish rates on baitfish presentations
Skip if
- You fish freshwater exclusively
- You prefer J-hooks for traditional presentations
Strengths
- Inward-bending point hooks fish in the mouth corner, reducing deep hooking
- Short shank handles heavy fish without straightening
- 40% stronger than competitor circle hooks per manufacturer
Trade-offs
- Circle hooks require different hook-setting technique (let fish load the rod)
- Assorted sizes means excess of some sizes and shortage of others
- Closed eye prevents changing to different line attachments
