Chemically Sharpened Circle Hooks (size 1/0 - 10/0)

Benefits of circle hooks:

·         Improved hook-up and landing rates

·         Reduced deep hooking – improved survival of released fish and decreased loss of fishing tackle.

·         The strike time is not as crucial for hook-up of fish.

·         Lighter leaders/traces can be used as the line is generally away from abrasive mouth surfaces.

·         Ideal hook for “lazy” fishing:

• you do not have to hold a fishing rod in your hands all the time
• just put your rods in the rod holders and
• the fish will hook themselves
• allows you to efficiently fish with several rods at the same time

What is a circle hook?

A circle hook is a fishing hook manufactured so that the point is turned perpendicularly back to the hook shank to form a generally circular, or oval, shape. It has become widely used among anglers in recent years because the hook generally catches more fish and is rarely swallowed. The circle hook's unique shape allows it to only hook onto an exposed surface, which in the case of a fish means the corner of its mouth.

Circle hooks bring about many benefits for anglers, but they do require a few minor changes to your normal fishing techniques.

How to use circle hooks:

·         Do not bury your hook (particularly with tough baits), lightly hook the bait so that the point and barb are exposed or “bridle” the bait.

·         Do not strike at the fish, allow the fish time to take the bait into its mouth and then apply slow and steady pressure to set the hook in the mouth area. The fish will hook themselves when they run with the bait or when you reel them in.
