The circle hook is somewhat of a misnomer because the hook is not a circle as expected. Instead, it is when the point and barb of a hook turn back and are perpendicular to the shank while parallel to the bend.
When it comes to fishing gear, having the right hooks can make the difference between a fish landed and a fish lost. Far too many anglers do not know the importance of having quality hooks tied to the end of a line or attached to a lure, and far too many anglers pay the price.There are some as far south as Key West, Fla., using circle hooks for everything from bridling for big offshore to bottom fishing on the flats for the occasional shark.
