- Forged hook point with a corrosion resistant finish
Serious saltwater anglers find Owner’s Mutu Light Circle Hooks ideal for rigging both live and chunk baits. These premium Mutu Light Circle Hooks are designed with a unique offset, ''hangnail'' point so fish are jaw-hooked, not gut-hooked, approximately 90% of the time. Super-sharp forged point with a corrosion-resistant finish. Plus, the lighter wire used on these hooks allows for a livelier bait action. Models 5114 and 5314

Rated 5 out of 5 by Toughluck Great Hooks
I use these hooks to fish for smallmouth bass with live bait. They are sharp, easy on the fish, and provide excellent hookups. Just remember to begin reeling, rather than setting the hook, when you feel the bite. Most fish will be hooked in the corner of the mouth. Great for catch and release!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bassgal Favorite dropshot hook
I use the Mutu light wire circle hook all the time for any dropshot nose hooked artificial baits. I also use them for wacky rigging. They seem to provide better hooksets and less hang ups than the traditional octopus style of circle hook, and I like the fact that most of the time they will end up lip hooking the bass, rather than getting stuck deep in the fishes throat.

Rated 4 out of 5 by DesertDave Not Quite 100% Lip, But Reliable
I bought some of these and had great luck with seatrout (among others) the first day...except for one thing. While some fish did lip hook themselves, many swallowed the hook, more than three times as many as with classic "J" hooks used at the same place on the same fish on the same day with the same bait. I didn't lose any fish, so the hooks performed well, but the lip hook concept seemed moot.
These are solid hooks, and I don't mean to imply that Owner's perform any worse than anyone else's; I just happened to be using these at the time. I would recommend them.

Size 10 worked great for panfish. Caught a bunch - but not one was gut hooked.A:
Hook size should match your bait size. probably a size 6 or smaller for a bass minnowA:
I've caught Bluegill on a #8 while trout fishing. I'd say #8 or smaller should work for panfish.A:
yo Wheelchair,The # 10's work great on all panfish that i've caught so far and I've caught some small one's and some great big one's.
Perhaps a #12 would work better but bass pro doe's not have them. hint hint
A:
I have both #6 and #2 hooks. I'v caught 3" long panfish with the #6 and 1/2 pound ones on the #2 hooks. I would go with #2 to #1/0 for the bigger panfish and #6 or #4 if you are trying to catch some catfish bait.A:
Yes, these work on most fish, including saltwater. I would use a small hook for panfish. I would try Some #8 of #10.Good Luck
A:
Yes perfect and I would still use the #4 hook in Red as well. I always used a smaller hook then I started using the #4 Mutu Circle hook and i will never go back or use another style. Good luck !A:
I have used size 8 and size 10 to catch trout. These sizes should also work well on panfish such as crappie or bluegill.

A:
Circle hooks are great for panfish, as they usually end up in the fishes lip rather than in their throat. The trouble is that many manufacturers don't make them very small. Owner (my favorite design of this hook) makes them down to size 6 and Gamakatsu make them down to size 8, but Eagle Claw makes them all the way down to size 14. I recommend a size 8 or 10 for panfishing.
