Quick take
One hundred light-wire circle hooks in 14 different sizes, from #6 to 10/0, with offset beak points.
Dr.Fish's 100-pack circle hook has an offset point and a black nickel finish, sized from #6 up to 10/0 for live bait and cut bait. As a circle hook, it is designed to engage at the corner of the fish's mouth as the line tightens during a run. Its light wire is made to give bait a livelier swimming action, which suits bass, mackerel, flounder and catfish.
Best for
- Live bait fishing for large species in salt and fresh water
- Catch-and-release fishing; circle hooks rarely go deep
- Building a complete range of hook sizes
Skip if
- You only fish one size; this is a multi-size pack
- You need heavy-wire hooks for large saltwater species
Strengths
- Light wire allows livelier bait movement in water
- Offset beak point catches corner of fish mouth automatically
- 14 sizes cover everything from panfish to offshore species
Trade-offs
