Hooks & Terminal Tackle
Inshore circle hooks
The default hook family behind most bait-first rigs in the launch catalog.
Live Shrimp, Fish Finder, Freeline, and Bottom setups all lean on circle hooks and the hook-set discipline that comes with them.
Why use it?
Live Shrimp, Fish Finder, Freeline, and Bottom setups all lean on circle hooks and the hook-set discipline that comes with them.
When to use it
Use it for Bridge structure and pilings, Beach troughs and surf cuts when the rig calls for it.
Size, weight, or test
Start near 1/0 for shrimp and size to the bait and target; current regulations always override static guidance.
Good starting point
Match the rig first and keep the component count small.
Fine-tune the setup
Refine size, strength, finish, and optional hardware without changing accepted rig geometry.
