Mustad Ultra Point Demon Circle 10ct Size 6/0

The Mustad Ultra Point Demon Circle 10ct Size 6/0 is a tournament-grade circle hook built for serious saltwater and freshwater anglers who want consistent hookups and reliable catch-and-release performance. This 10-pack of size 6/0 circle hooks combines Mustad's proven wide-gap circle design with ultra-heavy wire construction and a short shank, giving you the durability and geometry needed to handle hard-fighting species from panfish to saltwater giants. The curved shape does the work for you: as a fish takes and swallows the baited hook, the hook naturally travels to the corner of the mouth or lip, dramatically reducing deep-hooking and improving fish survival on release.

Circle hooks reward a different technique than traditional J-hooks—forget the aggressive strike. Instead, you simply firm up the line and let the hook's geometry set itself. This makes them ideal for drift fishing with live bait, trolling bridle-rigged baits, deep-dropping, and any situation where you need reliable hooksets without tearing up the fish. Anglers targeting everything from bluegill and catfish to tarpon, marlin, sailfish, swordfish, permit, and striped bass trust circle hooks for their superior performance and ethical catch handling. The Ultra Point Demon carries Tournament Approval from the Billfish Foundation, so it meets the standard for competitive saltwater fishing.

Available in your choice of black nickel or blonde red finish, these hooks deliver the strength and reliability you expect from Mustad—a name synonymous with hook quality for generations. The 10-count pack gives you a solid working supply for a day on the water or a season of serious fishing. Whether you're sight-casting to permit in the flats or soaking live bait for catfish, the 6/0 size offers the gap and bite you need across a wide range of applications.

How do I set the hook with a circle hook?

Circle hooks work differently than traditional J-hooks. Rather than striking hard, simply firm up the line with a steady tightening motion. The hook's curved geometry will naturally set itself in the corner of the fish's mouth or lip as it takes and swallows the baited hook.

Why does a circle hook reduce deep-hooking?

The distinct curved shape of the circle hook design causes it to naturally pivot and travel to the corner of the mouth or lip when the fish swallows the bait, rather than sliding deep into the throat. This results in fewer deeply-hooked fish and improved survival rates on catch-and-release.

What does the 1X extra-heavy wire and 2X extra-short shank mean?

The 1X extra-heavy wire provides superior strength and durability when battling larger and harder-fighting fish. The 2X extra-short shank keeps the hook compact and balanced, making it ideal for live-bait presentations and reducing the chance of short strikes while maintaining secure hooksets.
