The Circle Hook That Covers Every Situation

Circle hook regulations are expanding in saltwater fisheries. More species require non-offset circle hooks for catch and release. You need a hook that meets the regulations, holds bait, and actually hooks fish.

The L2004EL checks every box. The non-offset design is legal in every circle hook fishery. The Lazer Sharp point catches the corner of the mouth for clean hooksets and easy releases. The 25-pack in sizes 3/0 through 10/0 means you stock your tackle box for bottom fishing, live bait fishing, chunk fishing, and trolling at a per-hook price that makes bulk buying easy.

Non-Offset Tournament Legal

The L2004EL has zero offset, meeting the strictest circle hook regulations in any fishery. Tournament anglers can use these with confidence knowing they comply with release rules. The non-offset design also reduces gut-hooking, which improves fish survival on catch and release.

Lazer Sharp Point

Eagle Claw's Lazer Sharp technology produces a needle-sharp point that penetrates on contact. Circle hooks depend on the fish turning away to set the hook in the jaw corner. A sharp point makes that process more reliable, especially on lighter bites.

Eight Sizes for Every Application

3/0-5/0 for bottom fishing snapper and grouper. 6/0-7/0 for live bait and chunk fishing. 8/0-10/0 for trolling dead baits and targeting billfish. The full size range in 25-packs means you have the right hook for any saltwater scenario.

How to Fish Circle Hooks

1. Select hook size based on bait and target species

2. Thread the bait onto the hook, leaving the point exposed

3. Cast or deploy the bait and let it soak

4. When a fish bites, do NOT set the hook with a sharp strike

5. Reel tight and let the fish load the rod - the hook rotates to the jaw corner

6. Once the rod loads, increase drag and fight the fish normally

What size circle hook should I use? +
3/0-5/0 for snapper, grouper, and bottom fishing. 6/0-7/0 for live bait and chunking. 8/0-10/0 for trolling and billfish. Match the hook to your bait size so the point is exposed. Our hook size chart has a complete breakdown by species.
Are these tournament legal? +
Yes. The L2004EL is non-offset, which meets the strictest circle hook regulations in saltwater tournaments and fisheries. No offset means the point is inline with the shank. Read our circle hook guide for more on regulations.
Do I need to set the hook differently with circle hooks? +
Yes. Do not strike like you would with a J-hook. When a fish bites, reel tight and let the fish turn away. The circle design rotates the hook to the corner of the mouth automatically. Striking hard can pull the hook out. Our live bait rigging guide covers circle hook technique.
Can I use these for bottom fishing? +
That is one of their primary applications. Circle hooks are required in many bottom fishing regulations for snapper and grouper. The L2004EL in 3/0-7/0 works well for bottom species. See our bottom fishing guide for rig and hook recommendations.
How do these compare to Mustad hooks? +
The Eagle Claw L2004EL is a circle hook designed for catch and release. The Mustad 7766DT is a J-hook designed for trolling with dead baits. Different tools for different applications. Use circle hooks when regulations require them or when you want better release survival.
What is the black chrome finish? +
Black chrome is a corrosion-resistant coating that protects the hook in saltwater while providing a low-visibility dark finish. It lasts longer than standard finishes in the marine environment. See our hook guide for more on hook finishes and materials.
Why 25 count packs? +
25 hooks per pack gives you enough for multiple fishing trips at a low per-hook cost. Circle hooks do not need to be replaced as often as J-hooks since the jaw-corner hookset causes less damage. Stock the sizes you use most. Browse our Mustad 7692DT hooks for a J-hook option.
