Mustad Hooks
The Mustad Ultra Point Demon Circle hook is a tournament-grade circle hook designed to deliver reliable hooksets and superior catch-and-release performance. Available in a 10-count pack in Size 2, this hook features the wide gap geometry that circle hooks are known for—when a fish takes the bait, the hook's curved shape naturally travels to the corner of the mouth or lip, minimizing deep-hooked fish and improving your landing ratio. Built with 1X extra heavy wire and 2X extra short shank construction, the Demon Circle can handle hard-fighting saltwater species and hefty freshwater gamefish without bending or breaking.
Circle hooks change how you fish. Instead of a sharp, aggressive hook-set strike, you simply apply firm line pressure—the hook does the rest. This makes them ideal for live-bait presentations where you want to keep fish healthy for catch-and-release. Tournament anglers trust this pattern enough that it's approved by the Billfish Foundation, a gold standard in competitive saltwater fishing. Whether you're drifting live bait for tarpon, trolling bridle-rigged baits for marlin, or deep-dropping for swordfish, the Demon Circle's design adapts across a wide range of applications and target species.
The Ultra Point variant pairs Mustad's proven circle-hook geometry with a sharp, durable point for quick penetration. Available in both black nickel and blonde red finishes, these hooks deliver the consistency serious anglers depend on—whether you're fishing flats, blue water, or freshwater structure.
| Brand | Mustad Hooks |
| Hook Pattern | Ultra Point Demon Circle |
| Size | 2 |
| Count Per Pack | 10 |
| Wire Strength | 1X Extra Heavy |
| Shank Length | 2X Extra Short |
| Hook Type | Circle Hook with Wide Gap |
| Finishes Available | Black Nickel, Blonde Red |
| Certification | Tournament Approved (Billfish Foundation) |
This hook is suitable for a wide range of saltwater and freshwater species including tarpon, marlin, sailfish, swordfish, sharks, wahoo, halibut, amberjack, permit, striped bass, skipjack, bonito, bluegill, panfish, sunfish, catfish, and alligator gar. Size 2 works best when matched to appropriately-sized live bait for your target species.
Circle hooks operate differently than traditional J-hooks. Instead of a hard, aggressive strike, apply firm line pressure by tightening the line steadily. The hook's curved shape will naturally work its way to the corner of the fish's mouth. This technique reduces injury to catch-and-release fish and is why circle hooks are favored in tournament fishing.
The distinct curved geometry of a circle hook directs the point toward the corner of the mouth or lip when a fish swallows the bait. This natural hooking behavior eliminates the deep-throat penetration common with traditional straight-shank hooks, making for healthier released fish and fewer damaged catches.
Both finishes are offered; black nickel provides a darker appearance while blonde red offers a lighter tone. Choice between finishes is primarily aesthetic and based on water conditions or personal preference—both perform identically in terms of durability and strength.
