The Mustad Ultra Point Demon Circle 10ct Size 4/0 is a tournament-grade circle hook built for serious saltwater and freshwater anglers who want better hookup ratios and cleaner catch-and-release performance. This is the hook choice when you're targeting big game fish or working live bait in demanding conditions—the geometry does the work for you, steering the hook naturally toward the corner of the mouth or lip rather than deep in the throat, which means fewer gut-hooked fish and faster, safer releases.
The Demon's wide gap combines with a 1X extra-heavy wire construction to handle the punishment of larger, more powerful fish without bending or breaking. The 2X extra-short shank keeps things compact—ideal when you're rigging live bait or matching the hook to smaller baits that still need to hold heavy fish. The Ultra Point design cuts through skin and bone cleanly, improving penetration even when using firm pressure rather than an aggressive strike (a key advantage of circle-hook technique). This 10-count pack gives you enough hooks to rig multiple baits or build redundancy for a day on the water.
Circle hooks shine in live-bait scenarios, from drifting live mackerel or herring to bridle-rigged baits for pelagics. Tournament anglers and charter captains trust them for marlin, sailfish, tuna, wahoo, and sharks. They're equally effective for striped bass, halibut, amberjack, catfish, and panfish—anywhere you want consistent hookups without relying on a hard strike. The Demon is Tournament Approved by the Billfish Foundation, a standard that matters if you're serious about the sport.
Available in black nickel and blonde red finishes, these hooks are ready to tie and fish. Match your hook size to your bait, keep light to moderate tension, and let the circle hook's design do what it's engineered to do.

Frequently Asked Questions
What fish can I use Size 4/0 Demon circles for?
These hooks work well for marlin, sailfish, tuna, wahoo, sharks, halibut, amberjack, striped bass, catfish, panfish, and other species where a live-bait rig or heavier-duty setup makes sense. Match the hook size to the size of your bait and your target fish.
How do I fish a circle hook correctly?
With a circle hook, you don't strike hard like you would with a J-hook. Instead, maintain steady line tension and let the fish's own movement seat the hook at the corner of its mouth. A firm tightening of the line is all you need—the geometry does the work.
Why choose a circle hook for catch and release?
Circle hooks are engineered to hook fish in the lip or corner of the mouth rather than deep in the throat. This results in fewer deeply-hooked fish, cleaner releases, and better fish survival in catch-and-release situations.
Is this hook tournament legal?
Yes. The Mustad Demon Circle is Tournament Approved by the Billfish Foundation, making it a trusted choice in serious competitive and charter fishing.
