Description

The Mustad 2X strong Octopus Beak Circle Hook is perfect for targeting deep-water species, offering the best hookup ratio. 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 up-turned eye makes it perfect for paternosters set up as well as float lining. Setting the hook is more of a firm tightening of the line, than an actual strike. Great hook for fishing Tuna, Marlin, Sailfish, Swordfish, Sharks, Wahoo, Halibut, Amberjack, Permit, Striped Bass or Alligator Gar. 4.3 UltraPoint® Technology Opti-Angle Needle Point 2X Strong Forged Ringed eye Black Nickel finish
