CIRCLE HOOK - RIGGING

E-mail Print PDF

Having got this far with your interest in Circle hooks, let's make sure that the hooks that you are interested in using are in fact true Circle Hooks. There are some hook patterns that are occasionally sold as 'cirlces', but are really 'Kahle' hooks, and these renown for their 'deep-hooking' abilities; the opposite of what we wish with our 'Circles'!

One final reminder, that with circle hooks you do not strike the bite, but let the fish run off against a sustained and positive drag. The just wind in to the fish to finally set the hook home.

The bridle rigging method described above actually takes longer to read, than to carry out, it is just a matter of a little practice and preparation
