Highlights Summary Circle Hooks have been trusted by commercial fishermen for decades due to their efficient fish hooking ability. Designed to hook fish in the corner of the mouth or jaw, resulting in better fights and higher survival rates for released fish. Swimerz Circle Hooks are available in both inline and offset patterns, engineered for predictable hook sets. Detailed Features Benefits Promotes catch-and-release: Circle hooks primarily hook fish in the jaw, reducing the chance of gut-hooking and improving released fish survival rates (supported by scientific studies). Allows use of lighter leaders: With the hook set in the corner of the mouth, the fishing line is generally protected from the fish�s teeth. Ideal for a variety of fishing techniques: Suitable for live baiting for larger fish, bottom fishing, deep-dropping, and trolling. Wide gape design: Bridges the lip cartilage effectively when matched to bait size and target species, improving catch rates. Oversize eye: Provides freedom of movement for better bait presentation. Short, heavy-duty shank: Reduces bait interference, especially when targeting trophy-sized fish. Forged from high-grade carbon steel: Offers strength and durability. Black Nickel coating: Enhances rust resistance and lowers hook visibility in water. Technical Specifications Patterns: Inline and Offset Hook Point: 90-degree angle to shank for reliable jaw hook sets Material: High-grade carbon steel Coating: Black Nickel Available Sizes: 1, 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, 5/0 Service Trust Seals Supported by scientific research: Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 20, Issue 4, pages 445�451, June 2010 (John Wiley Sons, Ltd).
