OK, I’ll admit it: I can’t fish with circle hooks. I mean the danged things take all the fun out of fishing, since setting the hook almost always results in a miss.
But there’s one thing I can’t take away from the hooks: Used properly, they have astounding hook-up ratios.
Gamakatsu has finally offered a hook that provides the best of both worlds in their Nautilus Light Circle Hook.
“You can still somewhat set the hook,” Gamakatsu’s Syd Rives said.
This is a light wire hook developed specifically for fishing fragile live bait, the Nautilus Light is formed from forged high-carbon steel. A nickel silver black finish offers superb corrosion resistance.
Other features include a straight eye and offset point for superior hooking performance.
It’s ideal for live-bait and cut-bait anglers.
Of course, the shape is designed to hook and hold fish securely.
Available in 2 to 8/0 sizes. Retails from $3.98 per pack.
