Description

The 2X strong wire Mustad Tuna Circle Hook is a true circle hook offering the best hookup ratios. 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, trolling or kiting. 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 open eye makes it possible to easily attach it to a split ring, swivel or welded ring by using a pair of pliers. The “MTL-V1” point combines a more efficient point design with a new sharpening process to enhance the quality. The result is a sharper, sleek new point shape with penetration resistance 50% lower than standard Classic Hook points! The hook has a kirbed hook point for improved hooking potential and Duratin coating for high corrosion resistance.

Field Notes

This is a heavy-duty circle hook for bait fishing, especially when targeting tuna and other large saltwater species. It is designed for drifting, trolling, kiting, and live baiting, with the hook set coming from a firm line tighten rather than a hard strike.

Pros

  • 2X strong wire for big fish
  • Circle hook design improves corner-of-mouth hookups
  • Open eye makes rigging with split rings, swivels, or welded rings easier
  • Duratin finish adds corrosion resistance

Cons

  • Not a lure, so it has no action or depth profile
  • Circle hooks require a different hook-setting technique
  • Best suited to bait presentations rather than casting lures
