Quick take
A 100-pack of 2X strong circle hooks in five sizes, made of 420 stainless steel with needle-sharp points for saltwater live bait and trolling.
A 100-piece saltwater circle hook kit with needle-point, short-shank hooks in sizes 1/0 through 5/0, twenty of each. Made of stainless steel, it suits live baiting, cubing, trolling, jigging and bottom fishing for tuna, wahoo, kingfish, marlin and sailfish. Anglers picking circle hooks for offshore species can use the assortment across several bait sizes.
Best for
- Live bait fishing for tuna, kingfish, marlin, and other big species
- Bottom fishing and trolling rigs
- Saltwater fishing where corrosion resistance is critical
Skip if
- You fish freshwater; these are tuned for saltwater
- You need J-hooks or other point styles
Strengths
- Circle hook shape snags in the corner of the mouth and rarely deep-hooks fish
- 420 stainless steel resists corrosion in saltwater longer than other grades
- Short shank and needle point penetrate quickly on hard strikes
Trade-offs
- Circle hooks require no setting; unnatural for many anglers
- Short shank design limits their use in dead bait situations
- 20 hooks per size is a limited supply for heavy fishing
