Swimerz 4/0 Inline Circle Hook 15 pack

Highlights & Summary Circle Hooks are preferred by commercial fishermen for efficient fish hooking, primarily in the corner of the mouth or jaw. Less gut hooking leads to higher survival rates for released fish, supported by scientific studies. Swimerz Circle Hooks are available in both inline and offset patterns, designed for reliable hook sets. Ideal for live baiting larger fish, bottom fishing, deep-dropping, and trolling. Detailed Features & Benefits Hooks mainly set in the corner of the mouth or jaw, allowing fish to fight better and reducing line contact with teeth enabling the use of lighter leaders for sport fishing. Fewer gut-hooked fish promote responsible catch-and-release practices. Engineered with the hook point at a 90-degree angle to the shank for predictable hook sets. Wide gape design bridges lip cartilage when matched to the appropriate bait size and target species, improving catch rates. Oversize eye provides freedom of movement for the line. Short, heavy-duty shank minimizes bait interference, especially when targeting trophy-sized fish. Forged from high grade carbon steel for superior strength and durability. Black Nickel coating enhances rust resistance and reduces visibility in water. Technical Specifications Available in both Inline and Offset patterns.
