Can someone recommend to me a brand / model and size of circle hook for deep offshore use? ;)

Fisho do you want these circles for trolling and/or bottom fishing? Also what species are you targeting in the main?

It makes a difference.

sounds like you been talking to the pro's. The Mustad Tuna circle hook in size 4/0 is what they use. For deep water Snapper.
It looks small, but has a high rate of hookups. Don't know if you can buy them off the shelf. ???

http://www.ausfish.com.au/chat/images/smilies/cwm7.gif mate im stuck on the Gamakatsu black 7/0 and 8/0 and mainly use em when things are quiet and have a rod set whilst havin a feed, coffee or using another rod.
Found em tops with Reds, Cod and whatever seems ta pop by for a visit.
Might be one of the dearer hooks??, not sure but youll luv em once yourve used em.
Cheers

hi gang
I've been hooked on the black magic range of hooks and the circle hooks work just great for me

Thanks for the replies - interested in using them on Barwon Banks / Wide Caloundra for snapper / pearlies in the main. ;)
