Size 2/0 circle hooks with curved points that hook fish at the corner of the mouth.
The Matzuo circle hooks come in a 2/0 size with a curved point and a black chrome finish, aimed at bass anglers. Each one is sold as a snell, a fluorocarbon leader of about 18 inches tied to the hook, so it can go straight onto a line. Circle hooks suit anglers who want the hook to set as the fish turns, rather than by a hard pull on the rod.
