Description

The Mustad Demon® Wide Gap Circle Hook is a true circle hook featuring a wide gap, offering the best hookup ratios. No wonder it is so popular among tournament fishermen. 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. 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 to deep-dropping for Swordfish. When live baiting always match the hook size to the bait. Setting the hook is more of a firm tightening of the line, than an actual strike. Designed for anglers serious about catch and release fishing. Use it to target Tuna, Marlin, Sailfish, Swordfish, Sharks, Wahoo, Halibut, Amberjack, Permit, Striped Bass or Alligator Gar. 4.3 UltraPoint® Technology Opti-Angle Needle Point Wide Gap Ringed eye Nor-Tempered Black Nickel finish

Field Notes

This is a 2X strong inline circle hook for bait fishing, especially when you want a secure corner-of-the-mouth hookup and better catch-and-release results. It is suited to live or baited presentations such as drifting, trolling, or deep-dropping in saltwater applications. Use a firm line-tightening hookset rather than a hard strike.

Pros

  • Wide gap improves hookup potential
  • Circle design helps reduce deep hooking
  • 2X strong build for big-game use
  • Ringed eye and sharp point for bait rigging

Cons

  • Not a lure, so it offers no action or attraction on its own
  • Circle hooks require a different hookset style
  • Best used with bait rather than artificial presentations
