Why Should You use circle hooks?

  1. Almost 100% of the time they hook fish in the lips, rather than gut hook the fish.
  2. They can be used with any soft plastics, live or cut bait.
  3. You don’t have to set the hook by “yanking” on the rod to drive the hook point into the jaw of the fish.
  4. They “gradually” (slowly) set as the tightening of the line draws the hook into the corner of the fish’s mouth, and then additional tension of the line “sets the hook.”
