What Size? What Brand? where you Buy them?


I've been using BPS CatMaxx 8/0, 9/0 - 15ea for $6.29. CatMaxx Circle Hooks

I use strictly gamakatsu 8/0 octopus circle hooks. You also cannot beat Owner hooks but I can't afford to use them.

I have been using AJ Outdoors hooks they are great at a great price.

Eagle Claw L197 or chinese circle hooks off of Ebay.

Team Catfish all the way. Great people, fast shipping I still order most of mine online from them. You can find them in the big box stores too in a pinch. Cost is a little more than some, but stay sharp and once hooked don't lose fish You can get in the popular sizes. I personally buy 5/0, 8/0, and 10/0.

We too use the Team Catfish circle hooks. Used Gama's for years but the TC DA's just do a better job,

I would love to use TC exclusively, but the cost is outrageous compared to the hooks that I use. I have yet to have a hook fail. Maybe when I do, I'll feel different about the cost. Last time I went fishing I was in heavy timber and broke off 22 rigs in the timber.

I run bass pro shops cat maxx circle hooks. Team catfish are nice as well but just cost more than I want to pay.

I use TC 8/0 double action, I love these hooks and even though they cost more I just have more confidence using them when I hook a good fish and for that it is worth it to me, with these hooks my catch ratio has been better than other hooks, it basically comes down that it is my personal preference. If I fished a lake with heavy timber I'm sure I'd look into another option but luckily I don't lose very many.

Another vote for TC 8/0 double action hooks .

T/c double actions and owner wide gaps. Owners seem to be sharper and stay sharper longer, but the TC works good after a good sharpening.

14/0 Mustad Circle Hooks with whole live carp. Waiting on the big bite!

Just looked um up TC DA 8/0 20 pieces $67 plus shippin ya gotta be kiddin LOL $3.09 a HOOK bet they laugh all the way to the BANK. Good thing they run their "free shippin deals" Sorry as many hooks as a guide goes threw I just dont believe any guide could spend $3 a hook well unless they give um freebees for advertizing

Thanks for the Kind words Dusty!
