Owner circle hooks

[denis barden]

Went 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?

I've not used Owner circles, but I have used the Mustad ones and I dropped a number of fish (mostly carp) before I got them to shore. I ended up moving to the Gamakatsu Octopus circle and I've been much happier with them.

Have you tried using Black Magic size one circle hooks? they are great for whiting.

Yes used Black Circle hard to hook up -I put it down to the shank is too thick thats why I went to the owner make

I think at the end of the day you can't beast a size 6 long shank hook

I find the Owner Mutu circles to work really well

i fish with 3 rods 2 with No4 long shank hooks and a keeper rod with a circle hook

Were you using your nibble tip rods with the circles? I don't get a very good hookset using my nibble tip rod with them, I'll use longshanks with that one. The circles are great with the stiffer graphite rods though.

Maybe try gamakatsu C10U size #6 thin and strong

I fish for whiting with 2 rods, 1 with a black magic size 1 circle hook baited with squid. I leave this one in the holder and the fish hook themselves. On the other rod I use a size 4 long shank hook baited with mussel, and I hold this rod so I can strike when I get a bite. If you try fishing mussel or other soft baits on the circle you will be feeding the whiting, not catching them. I recon I catch 2 whiting on the long shank for each one on the circle, probably holding the rod makes the difference.
