Gamakatsu’s Circle Inline Point Octopus Hook is the same design as the Octopus Circle, but without the offset. Designed expressly to conform with some billfish tournament regulations and some fisheries that require non-offset circle hooks.
To comply with new angling regulations in the Gulf of Mexico, we’ve redesigned and reinforced our most popular circle hook. The new 4X Strong Circle Hook is built for the toughest battles in the deep sea. The straight eye, NS black finish and inline point (not offset) complies with the new rules, but doesn’t reduce the hook’s effectiveness. This is the new “go-to” hook charter captains and professional anglers are using for deep dropping and reef and wreck fishing.
Our standard Live Bait hook with a solid one piece ring for a natural presentation. Much smoother than any welded ringed hook, these are designed for larger baits and heavier lines.
The advantages of using tandem Gamakatsu double, single-point hooks instead of factory trebles on your favorite tuna plugs are clear. Hookup ratios increase and releases are far kinder to our finned friends. Magic Eye Tuna Plug 3X Hooks make rigging the system dramatically easier because the hook eyes are beveled so they slide right on a split ring without needing special pliers or tools. It’s faster, easier and foolproof. Attach with hook points opposed.
