The Mustad Ultra Point Demon Circle 10ct Size 1/0 is a tournament-grade circle hook built for serious saltwater and freshwater anglers who want reliable hookups and ethical catch-and-release fishing. These black nickel circle hooks combine a wide gap design with extra-heavy wire and extra-short shank construction, making them well-suited to handling larger, stronger fish. The distinctive circle shape naturally guides the hook to the corner of the mouth or lip when a fish takes the bait, significantly reducing deep-hooking and improving survival rates on released fish.
Circle hooks work differently than traditional J-hooks: rather than striking hard, you simply apply firm, steady pressure to set the hook. This self-hooking design has made circle hooks the standard for live-bait fishing across saltwater game fish and trophy freshwater species. The 1/0 size in this 10-count pack hits the sweet spot for medium to large live baits and works across a wide range of applications—from drifting live bait to deep-dropping, trolling with bridle-rigged baitfish, and still-fishing with live eels or shiners.
Mustad's Ultra Point technology delivers the sharp, penetrating point these hooks are known for, and the black nickel finish resists corrosion in saltwater and freshwater alike. This particular hook carries Tournament Approval from the Billfish Foundation, a credential that speaks to its reliability among professional and competitive anglers targeting everything from tarpon and marlin to permit, striped bass, catfish, and panfish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What fish species can I target with a Size 1/0 Mustad Demon circle hook?
The 1/0 size works well for a broad range of saltwater and freshwater species, including tarpon, marlin, sailfish, permit, striped bass, catfish, amberjack, halibut, wahoo, bonito, skipjack, bluegill, panfish, sunfish, and alligator gar. Choose hook size based on the size of your live bait—larger baits pair with larger hooks.
How do I set the hook with a circle hook?
Unlike traditional J-hooks that require a hard strike, circle hooks set themselves as the fish swallows the bait and moves away. Simply apply steady, firm tension on the line rather than performing an aggressive hookset. This self-hooking design reduces deep-hooking and makes circle hooks ideal for catch-and-release fishing.
Is this hook approved for tournament fishing?
Yes. The Mustad Ultra Point Demon Circle is Tournament Approved by the Billfish Foundation, making it legal and recognized among competitive anglers targeting offshore and inshore gamefish.
What does the black nickel finish offer?
Black nickel provides corrosion resistance in both saltwater and freshwater environments, helping the hook maintain its integrity and sharpness over extended use and storage.
