Gamakatsu® Circle Hooks are made from high carbon steel and forged through a unique tempering process. This combination creates a hook of superior strength, incredible durability, and unmatched quality. Conically needle-honed points are unbelievably sharp right out of the package and stay sharp for a very, very long time. The Nautilus Circle Hooks can be used for live bait or chunk bait presentations and has proven its strength many times.

No MissI also bought these hooks for worming because they absolutely stick the bass in the lip after each strike. I used to use different brands but found these to be perfect for Texas rigging worms and I haven't missed a strike since.

The best hooks on the marketI used these hooks exclusively while snapper fishing this past summer in the keys. I liked the wide bend of the Nautilus Circle hooks for using cut bait. The wide gap left the point clear while still having a nice chunk of bait on. As usual the hoods are crazy sharp right out of the package and the coating lasts forever. (I have never seen a Gamakatsu rust and I accidentally left a few in a bucket over the winter!") I don't remember the hook size 2-4 (mangrove snapper size) That we were using that day but I hooked into a 24 inch grouper and the hook didn't bend at all. Out of the four of us fishing I was the only one using these hooks and I also caught almost all the fish. The rest of the guys were using those little funny looking snapper jigs but they kept missing bites. I didn't miss very many bites at all! I ordered several more of these hooks in different sizes for next summer!

best hook everWhy? They are the coolest, strongest little hooks that I've ever seen. I'm a captain, so I want things that work. Period. These hooks hold so well. In the spring/summer, we use 6/0 sized hooks to liveline 12-14" mackerel for striped bass...they are the best hooks for this fishery! Capt. Rich Antonino, Black Rose Fishing Charters, Cape Cod...

Great HooksI was looking for a good circle hook. Found it. Used them over the weekend and killed the catfish in the spot. Hooked nice, right on the lip and removal was a breeze. Would highly recommend.
Do circle hooks work well with wacky rigging a 5" senko for largemouth bass, and if so, what size hook is recommended?
Asked by: turbodog
Circle Hook - Long used in saltwater fishing and when targeting catfish, pike and muskie, these are now becoming quite popular with "catch and release" bass fishermen. It is another live bait fish hook that when fished correctly will not result in bass swallowing the bait and becoming "gut hooked".
These hooks are available in thin and thick wire models and are generally found in sizes 1/0 through 8/0 in heavy wire and sizes 8 through 1 in the light wire version.
A 4 to 6 inch worm is best on a smaller 1/0 hook.

Is this a good hook for cod or haddock? what size hook
Asked by: loop69c
Thank you for your inquiry. These hooks will work great for cod or haddock. What hook size you would need will depend on 1: The size of the fish you're going after; and 2: What size of bait you are using. I would advise 4/0, 5/0 or 6/0.

How long do you give it before setting the hook?
I have never used circle hooks and want to reduce gut hooking fish. I see where they can be used for wacky rigging and anglers are recommending simply reeling down to set the hook. My question is, how long should I give the fish, compared to a regular wacky rig hook, before "setting" the hook? Any more, less or the same? Thanks for any and all feedback.
Asked by: ilikefish
The main difference is in how you set the hook. You do need to wait a second for the fish to turn, then a steady pull, (Not a yank) this will bring the circle hook to the corner of the jaw and stick the fish. I don't know about Wacky rigging but I use these hooks by freelining cut bait and when a fish takes it I give is a second to get the bait farther in the fishes mouth then I reel in the slack and give a nice long pull on the fish. Works most of the time.

Has anyone used these hooks on Coho or Chinook salmon and what size were you using?
Asked by: Cookie98
Hook size depends on bait size. I would start by using the same sizes you normally use and if you are having issues then adjust accordingly.

which ones are good for sturgeon?
Asked by: Wade15
6/0 to 16/0 depending on the size of fish you're trying to catch. Even smaller circle hooks will land a huge sturgeon.

Inshore fishing.
Which hook would be best when going for sea trout, redfish, and snapper? I use pinfish for bait.
Asked by: angler533
Match the size of the hook to the size of the bait. Too big and the bait won't look natural.
