Circle hooks are a type of fishing hook designed with a circular shape that allows for a more effective catch-and-release method. Unlike traditional hooks, circle hooks tend to hook fish in the corner of the mouth, reducing injury to the fish and increasing their chances of survival after being released. This design is particularly beneficial for anglers practicing sustainable fishing. These hooks are commonly used in various fishing techniques, including saltwater fishing and catch-and-release fishing. They are effective for targeting species like bass, trout, and tuna. Many anglers prefer circle hooks for their ease of use and the reduced risk of deep hooking fish.
