Circle Hooks??

Got some of these in size 4/0 blood red colour.

Anyone here used these for shore fishing??

John.

Been using Owner Semi circles for a while and have mixed opinions on them due to dropping fish on the way in...... :evil: Most fish properly hooked however were hooked in the mouth.

I tried full circles a couple of times and had a few fish on them, ALL hooked in the scissors. Bugger to bait up though!

I like my aberdeens and Owner worm hooks too much to switch over to them though.

Would agree with Pete Here John. I've been using them a little for Cod recently with good success. Every Cod hooked in the scissors. As Pete mentioned they are real pain to bait up, especially if you want a bigger bait. You end up sliding the first half of the bait onto the line and the second onto the hook shank.

Not a get hook for match because it takes longer to bait up and you do loose some bites. Used Owner mutu myself size 1/0

im not shrue about circle hooks coz wenever i try them my catch rate goes down.....the other owner hooks though are the dogs knackers 8) especially the gorilla live bait in size 8/0 for congers and the worm hooks. Razor sharp :shock: :shock: .
