Quick take
One hundred high-carbon circle hooks in ten sizes and black nickel finish, suitable for catfish, stripers and live bait fishing in fresh and salt water.
This 100-piece pack of black high carbon steel circle hooks includes a 4/0 size, and the range runs from 6 to 9/0 for bass and other fishing. Circle hooks tend to catch the corner of a fish's mouth, which helps when a fish is released. With bait, a still rod in a holder lets the hook set itself without a hard pull back.
Best for
- Setting circles on bottom rigs with live bait or cut bait
- Catching and releasing large catfish and stripers on rod
- Saltwater bait fishing where barb hold is critical
Skip if
- You fish soft plastics; circle hooks are for bait
- You need hooks for catch-and-release on smaller species
Strengths
- Circle design hooks near the jaw, improving catch-and-release survival
- 100-pack covers size ranges for panfish to catfish
- Black nickel finish resists rust and is visible underwater
Trade-offs
- Circle hooks require a steady pull to set, not a snap set
- Large sizes (6/0+) are heavy for light line or small rod
- Black nickel finish dusts off with handling
