Mustad Ultra Point Demon Circle 25ct Size 1

The Mustad Ultra Point Demon Circle Hook (Size 1, 25-pack) is purpose-built for serious anglers targeting large saltwater and freshwater gamefish. Circle hooks self-set as fish take the bait—a firm line tightening hooks them cleanly in the corner of the mouth rather than deep in the throat, making these the go-to choice for catch-and-release fishing and tournament applications. The Demon's wide gap design and curved profile maximize hookup ratios even when fish are moving quickly or shaking their heads, while the 1X extra-heavy wire handles the head-shaking runs of heavyweight species without straightening out.

Built tough for saltwater duty, this circle hook comes in a durable 25-count package sized for live bait presentations and chunked offerings. The 2X short shank keeps the hook compact, reducing the chance of missed hooksets while staying effective on everything from live mackerel for striped bass to mullet for tarpon. Tournament-approved by the Billfish Foundation, the Demon Circle has earned trust among professional and competitive anglers nationwide.

Whether you're drifting live bait in coastal channels, bridle-rigging for sailfish and marlin, deep-dropping for swordfish, or chunking for sharks and amberjack, this hook delivers reliable, ethical hookups. Size 1 works well when your bait matches its profile—match your hook size to your live offering for best results. Available in black nickel and blonde red finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fish can I catch with Size 1 Demon Circle Hooks?

These hooks are versatile across saltwater and freshwater species, including tarpon, marlin, sailfish, swordfish, sharks, wahoo, halibut, amberjack, permit, striped bass, tuna, bonito, skipjack, catfish, and panfish. Match the hook size to your bait for best results.

Why should I use a circle hook instead of a J-hook?

Circle hooks self-set in the corner of the fish's mouth as it swims away with the bait, requiring only a firm line tightening rather than an aggressive hookset strike. This results in cleaner, ethical hookups with fewer deeply hooked fish—making them ideal for catch-and-release and tournament fishing where hook placement matters.
