How to Use Circle Hooks

This video shows how to use circle hooks. This video shows how to use circle hooks for catfish. This can be used with or without live bait. I was using circle hooks with live bait in many of these videos. This is also how to use octopus circle hooks. This is my only video on how to use inline circle hooks. This is my video on how do you use circle hooks.

I use a whisker seeker Triple Threat 8/0 circle. It's offset and I love it.

Thanks for watching a Tight Lines.

I've been using circle hooks for years Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hooks and I've never snelled my hooks, I use a modified improved clinch knot on my hooks, I have let them load up on the rod and bend it over and I have reeled down on them. Knock on wood haven't missed one yet.

Great information. Keep the tips coming. I'm always looking to become a better fisherman. Thank you.

I've heard the snell knot argument before but nobody has been able to show me the physics of why the connection from your line to the hook makes a difference. If anything the hook type (straight eye vs bent eye) seems like it would be a bigger factor.

Very informative! I will try using that knot on circle hooks from now on! Great video man!

Do you find that the offset circle hooks tend to gut hook more fish than the inline circle hooks?

[ARCSTREAMS]

im a bit confused, i thought having an offset in a circle hook defeats the design purpose for it to hook on the lip, with offset are you not gut or deep hooking them? or does that bend in the shank do something to prevent that?

What leader length do you use for channel cats in lakes vs rivers?
Thanks for the advice man

[callahan]

If my pond has and big snapping turtles should I still go with a snail knot or use a metal leader with some swivels

How tight do you keep drag when you have them sitting on the rod holders?

[dand]

I am new to catfishing. I fish from shore with a rod holder and am using a circle hook with chicken liver but the catfish keep getting gut hooked. I snell the hooks too.
Do u have any advice for me to prevent the gut hooking?

One day I'll warm up to circles, but I can't tear myself away from kahle hooks. I have very similar results in that I almost always get hook-ups in the side of the mouth with them. I'm bad at not ripping back to set the hook. So programmed to do it.

Can I ask about those rods…loved the action. .. looked like a fast or mod-fast. Maybe I’m not seeing correctly, but it also looked like one or more of those rods were a bit slimmer than the others. Maybe, a lighter power? Thanks

[angelpagan]
