Highlights Summary
- Swimerz Circle Hooks are designed for efficient and ethical fishing, primarily hooking fish in the corner of the mouth or jaw.
- Widely used by commercial fishermen and sport anglers for decades.
- Scientific studies show higher survival rates for released fish when using circle hooks and proper catch-and-release techniques.
Detailed Features Benefits
- Engineered with the hook point at a 90 angle to the shank for predictable hook sets in the corner of the jaw.
- Minimizes gut-hooked fish, supporting sustainable and responsible fishing.
- Allows the use of lighter leaders, as the line stays clear of the fishs teeth.
- Particularly suited to live baiting for larger fish, bottom fishing, deep-dropping, and trolling.
- Wide gape bridges lip cartilage when matched to bait size and target species, improving catch rates.
- Oversize eye provides freedom of movement.
- Short, heavy-duty shank reduces bait interference when targeting trophy-sized fish.
- Forged from high-grade carbon steel for strength and durability.
- Black Nickel coating adds rust resistance and reduces visibility in water.
- Available in both Inline and Offset patterns.
