I've had the best luck with these, you need to learn not to touch the rod till the whiting hooks itself ! ... hard thing to do when your used to hooking them while they nibble with standard hooks.

Re: Owner circle hooks
I have found black magic hooks, especially those KL’s to be one of the worst hooks on the market. They don’t produce a solid hook up, whiting drop off the hooks when they shouldn’t and most of all they start rusting as soon as they are put into the tackle box.
On the other hand the gama c10u’s are great.

Re: Owner circle hooks
Use the long shanks on the NibbleTtip rods and the circles on a smaller graphite rod

Re: Owner circle hooks
From personal experience circle hooks works better on bigger fish. From size 3/0 hooks and above. I haven't drop any fish yet on bigger circle hooks....touch wood touch wood

Re: Owner circle hooks
I don't know why you want to change hooks,as you bag out most of the with your long shank hooks. I have been told that fish hook themselves with circle hooks and they are great for KGW. Im jet to try them out but i will,ill see what the guys at Mario's suggest Wednesday.denis barden wrote: ↑Sun Mar 14, 2021 3:55 amWent to Marios lookin for thin diameter circle hooks
Came up with No6 Owner Hooks-Packet sais Made in Japan
Gave them a go the other day caught 3 whiting with them but each whiting landed in the boat wriggled off the hook
Has anybody used thees hooks before?

Re: Owner circle hooks
I use the Circle Hooks on a keeper rod and the long shanks on the Nibble Tip Rods
I have a friend that uses 12 lb mono,small stout rod,baitcaster reel and circle hooks-I fished with him a few times at the Pilots Pier Queenscliff-He hooks the big whiting like a beauty the same as a long shank hook.

Re: Owner circle hooks
But there's no fun in 12lb mono on any whiting rig. Up the top of the bay we used to use 6lb but there is no current theredenis barden wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 6:54 pmI use the Circle Hooks on a keeper rod and the long shanks on the Nibble Tip Rods
