  • FRESH AND SALTWATER - Phoxinus circle hooks are designed with fish welfare, easier unhooking and reduced snags in mind, and are suitable for both fresh and saltwater species such as pike, bream, bass, whiting, cod, pollock, conger, tope and many more
  • FEWER DEEP HOOKED FISH - The unique shape of circle hooks has been shown to reduce hooking in the gut meaning more released fish live to fight another day. Additionally, a fish hooked in the corner of the mouth is far easier to unhook saving you time.
  • REDUCED SNAGS - The hook shape means snags are less likely over rough ground compared to most other hook designs saving you money, time and frustration.
  • EASY AND SOLID HOOKUPS - Circle hooks self hook (no need to strike) and make it extremely difficult for a fish to unhook themselves meaning that you hook more and loose less fish.
  • COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGY - Circle hooks have been used commercially for decades and, in recent years, smart recreational anglers have started to adopt them. Give yourself the edge!

Despite only gaining traction with recreational anglers in recent years, circle hooks have long been used commercially, and it's easy to see why. When a fish takes a Phoxinus circle hook in its mouth, it is not immediately hooked. However as the fish moves away, the hook is designed to be pulled to the corner of the fish's mouth where it hooks cleanly and securely.

Research has shown a significant increase in the number of lip-hooked fish over conventional J shaped hooks. The study showed that offset circle hooks penetrated the lip 73% of the time, as opposed to 41% of the time with J-hooks. Not only is this important for fish welfare, but it makes recreational angling easier and more enjoyable when you know that more fish will be hooked in the correct place.

An additional benefit of Phoxinus Circle hooks is that the shape reduces snags when fishing over rough ground, meaning less lost tackle and more time fishing.

Designed for most freshwater and saltwater species, including pike, bream, bass, whiting, cod, pollock, conger, tope and many more
