Circle Hooks For Bass

Featured Replies

Anyone use them with plastic worms, or other plastics? If so, in what manner?

I like using a weedless circle hook when splitshotting a reaper or small worm, due to their tendency to swallow the tiny baits.

They work well for wacky worms.

I also use them for wacky rigs, especially if I am casting really far out. When they bite at a far distance, i don't have to worry about setting the hook, I just to have reel the line tight and the fish will hook itself. Also, it is near impossible for a fish to throw a circle hook.

I catch more fish on wacky and neko rigs with a circle hook than I do with a neko hook. If I need weedless, I go to a vmc neko hook. I have also been experimenting with the vmc wacky circle hook with metal weed guard.

I will always fish an exposed hook when I can get away with it.

Im gonna try some for wacky or Neko rigs . I heard you get a better hook up ratio

I use them for wacky and neko. There’s less chance for the fish to get gut hooked as almost every fish is lip hooked because of the design. They are great for weightless baits

One thing I have learned is that if you overdo it on the hookset, you will get a lot of bass skin hooked in the roof of the mouth.
