Mustad's UltraPoint® Octopus Circle hook, or beak hook, is perfect for targeting deep-water species, offering the best hookup ratio. Setting the hook is more of a firm tighening of the line, than an actual strike. When the fish takes the baited hook and swallows it, the hook travels to the corner of the mouth or lip, resulting in fewer deep-hooked fish.
Perfect for heavier lures and strong freshwater species, the Mustad UltraPoint® Demon Circle hook features an extra short shank and a special wide bend for a perfect hook up. The distinct curved shape of the circle hook is designed to reduce the frequency of deep-hooked fish which is ideal for catch and release. This hook is widely used to target all species of saltwater fish through many applications from drifting with live bait, trolling a bridle rigged live bait, to deep-dropping.
