Mustad 2X Strong Circle Hooks

Mustad Tuna Inline Circle Hook - 2X Strong

Built from 2X strong wire, this Mustad circle hook is a perfect heavy-duty choice for halibut fishing. Its inline circle shape rotates to the corner of the mouth as a fish turns away with the bait, so you get solid hookups with fewer deep-hooked fish, which makes releasing a big or oversized halibut much easier. The needle point penetrates cleanly, and the ringed eye ties up securely for rigging with heavy leader. Fish it with whole herring, octopus, or cut bait along the bottom in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Puget Sound, or off the Washington coast, where a hook has to hold up to a long, powerful fight. Instead of a hard strike, just tighten the line and let the hook set itself.

The corrosion-resistant Duratin finish holds up in salt water.

Best For: Heavy-duty halibut fishing with bait, where a strong, release-friendly circle hook makes the difference.
