An inline-point version of the classic SS Heavy Circle Hook, the BKK SS Hybrid Inline Heavy Circle Hook is the perfect go-to circle hook that adheres to many tournament and fishery regulations. The needle's sharp inline point offers easy penetration simply by coming tight to the fish once it takes the bait. BKK's Super Slide coating further enhances hook-up rates by reducing friction during the penetration process for smooth and efficient hook-ups. A 45-degree upturned eye allows the hook to come off the leader at an ideal angle when tied with a Snell knot. These are the ultimate circle hook for striped bass fishing when practicing catch and release.
