Description

The Mustad Octopus Inline Circle Hook is a true circle hook perfect for lighter saltwater and freshwater species. 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 Sailfish with bridle rig. 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. The hook has an upturned eye perfect for the Snell knot paternoster presentation. Use it to fish for a whole range of fresh and saltwater species, such as Wahoo, Snapper, Roosterfish, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi/Dorado, Sailfish, Skipjack, Catfish, Tigerfish, Nile Perch or Arapaima. 4.3 UltraPoint® Technology Opti-Angle Needle Point Ringed eye Upturned eye Nor-Tempered Black Nickel finish

Field Notes

Use this inline circle hook for live-bait presentations where you want the hook to set in the corner of the mouth (rather than deep hooking). It’s designed for firm line tightening instead of a hard strike, making it well-suited for drifting live bait or trolling with a bridle rig.

Pros

  • True circle shape helps reduce deep-hooked fish
  • Upturned eye works well with Snell knot/paternoster presentations
  • Needle point for reliable penetration

Cons

  • Requires proper technique (firm tightening vs. a hard hookset)
  • Inline style may be less ideal for setups that need a different hook orientation
