Description

For the best in strength and hook-up ratios, Mustad's Demon® Offset Circle Hook leads the pack thanks to carefully selected and treated high-carbon steel shaped into the iconic circle hook shape that Mustad first introduced and perfected. With the distinct curved shape of the circle hook, the hook naturally rolls to the corner of the mouth for safe yet secure hooksets. Demon® Offset Circle hooks are a go-to pick for drifting with live bait for Tarpon or trolling for Marlin. Use it to fish for a whole range of fresh and saltwater species, such as Wahoo, Marlin, Snapper, Roosterfish, Tarpon, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi/Dorado, Sailfish, Grouper, Skipjack, Catfish, Goliath Tigerfish, Nile Perch or Arapaima. 4.3 UltraPoint® Technology Opti-Angle Needle Point Kirbed Wide Gap 4X Strong Ringed eye Nor-Tempered Black Nickel finish

Field Notes

Use this circle hook for live bait presentations where you want a secure corner-of-the-mouth hookup. It is especially suited to drifting or slow-trolling live bait for large saltwater species, but it can also be used for catfish and other big-game applications. The 4X strong build and ringed eye make it a good choice when heavy pressure and strong fish are expected.

Pros

  • 4X strong construction for big fish
  • Circle shape improves hook-up ratio and reduces deep hooking
  • Ringed eye is good for strong knots and live-bait rigs

Cons

  • Not a lure, so it offers no action or attraction on its own
  • Circle hooks require a different hookset style than J-hooks
