Description
Youvella circle hooks are manufactured so that the point is turned perpendicularly back to the hook shank to form a generally circular, or oval shape.
Various studies have shown that circle hooks mouth-hook a greater proportion of fish than typical "J" pattern hooks and reduces deep hooking which improves survival of released fish and decreases loss of fishing tackle. Fish self-hook more easily and results in improved hook-up and landing rates for many species. The strike time is not as crucial for hook-up of fish.
Lighter leaders/traces can be used as the line is generally away from abrasive mouth surfaces.
