Quick take
Circle hooks with 90-degree inline points that catch fish in the jaw corner for higher hook-up rates and safer catch-and-release outcomes.
This is a 25-pack of size 2/0 inline circle hooks in black high carbon steel. The non-offset point and wide gap suit live bait and cut bait for catfish, striped bass, salmon and other saltwater or freshwater fish. Circle hooks set themselves as the fish turns away, so a steady reel is all the hookset needed, which makes them an easy fit for newer anglers.
Best for
- Live bait fishing where circle hooks hook themselves
- Catch-and-release fishing where jaw-corner placement reduces injury
- Saltwater catfish, striper and snapper on heavy live bait
Skip if
- You fish small finesse lures where a tiny J-hook suits better
- You need an offset hook for worm and nightcrawler bottom rigs
Strengths
- 90-degree non-offset point catches corners of mouth consistently
- Circle hook design reduces need for aggressive hook-setting
- 5X reinforced carbon steel resists bending under heavy loads
Trade-offs
- Circle hooks require proper technique; aggressive hook-sets can bend them
- Size 2/0 is bulky for panfish and small freshwater species
- Jaw-corner hooking takes longer on some species to feel solid
