The Mustad Circle hook is a short shank circle hook made for bait to target Sailfish, Wahoo, Amberjack, small Tuna, Permit or Striped Bass. The distinct curved shape of the circle hook will, when the fish takes the baited hook and swallows it, ensure that the hook travels to the corner of the mouth or lip, resulting in fewer deep-hooked fish. It is in other words, the ultimate Catch&Release hook. Setting the hook is more of a firm tightening of the line, than an actual strike. Perfect when using live baits. The “MTL-V1” point combines a more efficient point design with a new sharpening process to enhance the quality. The result is a sharper, sleek new point shape with penetration resistance 50% lower than standard Classic Hook points! Black nickel finish. This hook is Tournament Approved by the Billfish Foundation. MVL-V1 point technology Needle point Ringed eye Black nickel finish

Great product!
Very sturdy and sharp hooks. I would recommend for catfishing. These are a bit small for large cats when using live bait as I typically use large live blue gill.

Brand name always buy brand name
I haven't used them yet but I have used mustad hooks before and they seem to hold up fine. I bought some aftermarket ones sent them back they were like defects don't do it spend a little more for quality.

Sharp, but could be sharper
Great hooks but they could be a little sharper. Some are sharper than others. All will work well but I wish they'd be slightly sharper

Yellow tail snapper
Great hooks for the price. I use these small circle hooks to fool big ass yellow tail snappers on 15lb fluorocarbon leaders. Hooks them good in the corner of the mouth. Big yellowtails will fray through light leaders if they swallow a J-hook. These prevent that.

Sent to many
The product was exactly what I expected. No complaints. I expected a package of 8 but was sent a box of 10 packages. Willing to send excess back.

Nice and sharp
Great hooks for the price. I loose a lot of hooks on the oyster reefs so cheap is good. Lol. These hooks have caught plenty of reds

Fish don't swallow hook
These are circle hooks I use with red worms for panfish. The fish are caught on the edge of mouth, making for easy release without injuring the fish. I release the fish anyway, and these hooks are perfect. Aberdeen hooks are often swallowed by fish, and getting the hook out kills the fish. If I were keeping the fish to eat it wouldn't matter, but since I'm releasing them, the Mustad Circle hooks (size 4) are exactly the right hook. On a given day, I catch maybe 20 fish, from small bluegill to 2 pound bass and catfish. The hooks are great. Every now and then, a shell cracker or bluegill swallows the hook, but its only 1 in a hundred, whereas with the Aberdeen's it seems like it was 1 in 5 (especially with shellcrackers).

10/0 strong but not very sharp
Amazing price, and seem like good quality but they aren't very sharp. Should still work for what I got them for which is large Sturgeon. A little smaller than other brands of 10/0 hooks. Also the barb is impossible to crimp with pliers on a 10/0, it's just too large so I guess I will have to file them off somehow.

Very nice sharp hook!
Very nice hook. Very sharp!! Will be using them for steelhead. I'm not a fan of undersized hooks, good sized fish require a decent sized hook. Straightening hooks is not a part of the plan. Havecshopped the price point and this one is very good! Will purchase again.
