Why You Should Be Using Circle Hooks: The Smart Choice for Serious Anglers
Share
We don’t just chase the catch—we fish with purpose. Whether you're battling a redfish inshore or waiting on a big snapper offshore, there’s one piece of gear that should already be on your line: the circle hook.
So, why circle hooks? Simple. They hook more fish and save more lives.
1. Hooksets That Stick
Circle hooks are designed to do the work for you. No need for a hard yank—you let the fish run, tighten the line, and the hook naturally slides into the corner of the mouth. It’s efficient, automatic, and brutally effective.
2. Fewer Gut Hooks = More Sustainable Fishing
We’re not just out here for the photo ops—we respect the sport. Circle hooks dramatically reduce gut hooking, meaning more undersized or out-of-season fish can be released unharmed. That’s better for the fishery, and better for the future of our sport.
3. Perfect for Live Bait
Live bait + circle hooks = deadly combo. The hook’s shape allows the bait to swim more naturally, and its rotation on the strike increases hook-up ratios without spooking the fish. Whether you’re slow-trolling for kings or bottom fishing for grouper, it’s your best bet.
4. Regulations Are Catching On
Many states and tournaments now require circle hooks when fishing with natural bait for certain species. It’s not just a suggestion anymore—it’s becoming the law. Stay ahead of the curve and fish the right way.
5. More Time Fishing, Less Time Missing
Every missed fish costs you time and confidence. With circle hooks, your odds go up—plain and simple. Less fumbling, less guesswork, more tight lines.
