Octopus Circle, 4x Strong, Straight Eye (Inline-point) TOURNAMENT LEGAL

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. Heavy up your rods, reels and line, because the 4X Strong Circle Hook will never give up when it comes to pulling snapper and monster grouper out of their fortified hangouts.

New vertical jigging techniques like“slow pitch”and“shore”jigging are gaining attention at a rapid rate. Many of the top anglers are using two assist hooks instead of one. Think about it, you’re doubling your odds of hooking short or soft biters. Gamakatsu’s Double Assist hooks are designed for fast and easy replacement on all types of butterfly, flat fall and“iron”jigs. The 6”super strong braided line loop can be adjusted to position each hook at the exact desired length, even or offset. Red heat shrink tubing on the hook shank is an added attractor and prevents chafing and bite-offs. And there’s no concern of knots coming undone. Hooks are forged and barbed. Available in 2/0 and 4/0 in packages of two.
