The Mustad Ultra Point Demon Circle 25ct Size 1 is a tournament-grade circle hook built for anglers who want reliable hooksets and better fish survival on catch-and-release days. Circle hooks are engineered to hook fish in the corner of the mouth or lip as they turn to swim away with the bait, which means fewer deep-hooked fish and cleaner releases—a huge advantage whether you're fishing competitively or simply practicing good stewardship. This 25-pack gives you plenty of rigs for a season of saltwater fishing or live-bait work.
The Demon design combines a wide gap with 1X extra-heavy wire and a 2X extra-short shank, so you get the strength to handle serious saltwater species without a hook that's oversized or cumbersome. Size 1 fits a wide range of bait sizes and applications: live-bait drifting, trolling with bridle-rigged baitfish, deep-dropping, and more. Setting a circle hook is straightforward—you don't need a hard strike, just firm, steady line pressure, making the technique less fatiguing during long days on the water. Tournament-approved by the Billfish Foundation, these hooks have earned their reputation among competitive anglers targeting premium gamefish.
Whether you're after tarpon and marlin in saltwater, catfish in freshwater, or panfish and sunfish in between, the Demon Circle's proven design works across a huge range of species and tactics. The pack of 25 means you'll have fresh, sharp hooks ready without constantly retying or reusing worn-out hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
What species can I use Size 1 Demon Circle hooks for?
Size 1 is effective for a broad range of saltwater and freshwater gamefish including tarpon, marlin, sailfish, swordfish, sharks, wahoo, halibut, amberjack, permit, striped bass, tuna, catfish, panfish, sunfish, and more. Choose your size based on the bait you're using—smaller baits pair with smaller hooks, larger baits with larger sizes.
How do I set a circle hook?
Unlike J-hooks, you don't need a hard hook set strike. Simply apply firm, steady line pressure once the fish takes the bait. The circle hook's shape naturally guides the point to the corner of the mouth as the fish turns away, resulting in a solid hookset without a dramatic jerk.
Are these hooks tournament-legal?
Yes. These Demon Circle hooks are Tournament Approved by the Billfish Foundation, making them a trusted choice for competitive anglers targeting billfish and other premium species.
What's the advantage of the extra-heavy wire and extra-short shank?
The 1X extra-heavy wire provides strength and durability to handle large, powerful fish without bending or breaking. The 2X extra-short shank keeps the hook compact, reducing the chance of deep hooking and making the profile more natural with live bait.
