circle-hooks shore-fishing.

do any members subscribe to these hooks, saw a clip on a fishing
programme showing peter-thain and and another guy using them
for general shore work, they semed to be a excellent hook, ie hooking
right in the corner of the fishes mouth, and not way down deep,
i think they were called suntra circle hooks or something like that.

Ask Carpets on this site about them.

He used them in Iceland for Spurdogs from the shore.

was fishing with peter 2 weeks ago , in iceland for spurdogs had a great time we were using 7/0 circles and they worked every time no missed fish bang everytime, well worth a look especially on fish baits , report on wsf ,has iceland gone to the dogs on european reports , where did you see the clip with pete..

hello , saw the clip on tight-lines sky-sports, introduced by keith-arthur
they were catching huge dabs and codling, in iceland, do you know
were to source these hooks from,

regards steve.

will send pete an e mail and try get those details for you

do you know

Try UK Hooks ( google it )

I think Veals might also stock them. I picked a bunch of them recently in loads of different sizes but I haven't got around to trying them out yet, I must dig them out and give them a go. Mike Ladle has written a good bit about using them for bass on his website, they seem like a great innovation.

hello dave, quite right mate, anything that can stop a fish from being
gut hooked so to speak is a great idea, they should really work well
with a whole host of species,
regards steve.

debrock was using something similar for his cod fishing i think they were grauvell not a full circle hook but close to it then again he d catch with a poxy safety pin

used owner semi-circles on the top of my pennels, cant fault them

Aye Steve the dabs were amazing, had them three at a time for 6lb on a boat rod!

have been using circle hooks for a while now and they are spot on corner of the mouth all the time never get swallowed by any fish.another tip is to use tow or three big glow beads above the hook works for me .cheers john

I use them for Bassing with bait. Perfect job. You don't have to pay 100% attention to the rod to hit bites right away, the fish more or less hook themselves.

Says a lot about what kind of angler I am............

If breaking in a new beach. fishing flounder checking for collies and dogs hoping for a Bass then hard to beat a semi round hook. I use owner blacks, not sure of the number. Strong enough to take a conger ( I know from experience) not to heavy that a flounder will throw them.

Self hooking, not ot much rod watching needing as tangle rat said above.

They are difficult to bait with worms. they are not match hooks for a flounder beach( the one's I use). I use them in a pennel rig for breaking in beach’s.

Research has given me the longest nights and the biggest smiles. ( to the determent of my match fishing). I once put clove essence into 2lb of rag worm.

what baits do you use on the circles tanglerat

After all the talk about circle hooks here recently, I decided to dig out the ones that I've been meaning to use for the last while and give them a go. I only had time for a short session but I was hoping to see how they would work for flatties, however all I got was a doggie although it was perfectly hooked in the scissors. I'm going to try them again later in the week and hopefully catch a few flatties. I'm hoping that they will put an end to my gut hooked flaties.

dave have a look at this thread

in three years of using the unhooky thing ive only left hooks in about 5 flat fish and god knows how many of them ive caught

can be used for rounds aswell!!!

Sorry for the delay in answering, I lost track of this thread.

I'll put anything on a circle. I know lots of lads don't like using worm bait on them because they find it tricky, but in all honesty it just takes a bit of practice to get presentation right.

Baiting up with live King Rag can be a bit of fun on a dark night, though.
