Perfect for heavier lures and strong freshwater species, the Mustad UltraPoint^® Demon Circle hook features an extra short shank and a special wide bend for a perfect hook up. The distinct curved shape of the circle hook is designed to reduce the frequency of deep-hooked fish which is ideal for catch and release. This hook is widely used to target all species of saltwater fish through many applications from drifting with live bait, trolling a bridle rigged live bait, to deep-dropping.
