ABOUT CIRCLE HOOKS Circle Hooks are precision-forged from high carbon steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant black nickel coating. The extra wide gap and offset inline point provide natural hook penetration for saltwater and freshwater fishing, making them the ideal choice for anglers targeting catfish, redfish, striped bass, and other species that respond well to live and cut bait presentations. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION High carbon steel wire delivers the strength needed for large catfish and powerful saltwater species. The black nickel finish resists corrosion through extended saltwater and freshwater exposure. The offset inline point geometry allows the hook to set naturally in the corner of the fish's mouth as the fish moves away, reducing deep hooking and fish injury compared to J-hooks. CATCH AND RELEASE READY Circle hooks are the responsible choice for catch-and-release anglers. The curved point rolls outward when the fish pulls, consistently producing corner-of-mouth hookups with minimal tissue damage. Fish released from circle hooks show stronger survival rates than those caught on straight-point hooks. RIGGING AND USE Use steady pressure rather than a snap hookset. Let the fish take the bait, tighten the line, and maintain firm, steady pressure. The hook will set itself in the corner of the mouth without an aggressive strike. Effective with shrimp, cut mullet, cut shad, chicken liver, and nightcrawlers depending on target species. AVAILABLE SIZES Available from #1 through #10/0 to cover the full range of target species and bait sizes. Smaller sizes from #1 to #3/0 suit panfish, bass, and channel catfish. Sizes #4/0 to #10/0 are built for trophy catfish, redfish, striped bass, and large saltwater targets.
OFFSET INLINE POINT: The wide gap and offset inline point set the hook in the corner of the mouth for natural, reliable hookups on catfish, redfish, and striped bass.
HIGH CARBON STEEL: Precision-forged high carbon steel gives the backbone to handle trophy catfish and powerful saltwater species without bending or breaking.
CORROSION RESISTANT: Black nickel coating resists rust through repeated saltwater and freshwater use, extending hook life across every trip.
CATCH AND RELEASE READY: The circle design produces corner-of-mouth hooksets with minimal tissue damage, improving released fish survival over standard J-hooks.
ELEVEN SIZES, 25 PER PACK: Available from size 1 through 10/0 with 25 hooks per pack, covering panfish to trophy catfish and large saltwater targets.
