【Sharp and Durable】
The FishTrip Circle Inline Hook is a true circle hook. It features 3X strong wire and 2X short shank, making it perfect to battle heavier and bigger fish. The distinct curved shape of the circle hook will, when the fish takes the baited hook and swallows it, ensure that the hook travels to the corner of the mouth or lip, resulting in fewer deep-hooked fish.
【Catch and Release】
The 90° bend in the hook point and inline design allows the circle hook to normally only hook the fish's lip. This greatly reduces fish mortality and allows the angler to better catch and release.
The distinct curved shape of the circle hook will, when the fish takes the baited hook and swallows it, ensure that the hook travels to the corner of the mouth or lip, resulting in fewer deep-hooked fish.

【Great choice for anglers】
The circle hook can be used for a whole range of applications from drifting with live bait for Tarpon or trolling for Marlin with bridle rigged live bait to deep-dropping for Swordfish.
When live baiting always choose a hook size that matches the bait. Setting the hook is more of a firm tightening of the line, than an actual strike. It is in other words, the ultimate Catch&Release hook.
Use it to target Tuna, Marlin, Sailfish, Swordfish, Sharks, Halibut, Wahoo, Amberjack, Permit or Alligator Gar.
Benefits of circle hooks
-
> Reduced deep hooking – improved survival of released fish and decreased loss of fishing tackle.
-
> Improved hook-up and landing rates for many species.
-
> 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.
-
> Additionally, some studies have shown that using circle hooks may reduce the incidence of snagging.
Circle hooks bring about many benefits for anglers, but they do require a few minor changes to your normal fishing techniques
