We fish for red snapper out of Louisiana a lot. Been using the owner reef and rig circles. They’re legal in every gulf state and meet the requirements for reef species.
I always wondered why the eye end of the hook was angled back (snell). I wasn’t sure if it was for bait presentation, maybe it didn’t spin or move around as much when your reeling in. Now I know. Thanks
Sorry… I was just getting into the video game and wasn’t quite hitting the mark on sound. I think I’ve got it figured out now and thanks for the feedback
Hey! thanks for the feedback. This was my first video so probably newb growing pains. I have introduced a mic to the setup so hopefully new videos are better.
So, the bend in the eye is what makes it an "octopus" hook? Please tell me if I'm wrong. I just recently found out you shouldn't snell a hook with no bend in the eye, because the way it gets pulled takes it out of the dishes mouth.
That is my understanding. With that being said, i have seen a package of hooks that didn't have the snell bend but was called octopus... I reached out to #gamakatsu on this but it wasn't perfectly clear if this was a package mistake.
The first 4/0 hook package that you recommend, do you (or anyone) know why Owner doesn’t place anything on the package, including displaying the hooks within the package, that says “circle” or “inline”? In other words, unlike the other two packs of hooks, there is nothing to tell the user what the hooks are, except maybe “5174RR-141,” which means nothing to me.
I guess the only thing i can say is that it says REEF & RIG which to me says it is legal for reef fishing (must be inline circle hook). However, I happen to know the regulations before buying the hooks so I was able to make that correlation. I agree with you though, a digram like the Mutu Light would have been nice, or just some clearer description would have been nice.

Oh yeah, easy choice if you are at all worried about regulations in your area

You bet! Thanks for the view!
Thanks!! Exactly, the information that I needed to know.
Ok, subscribed bc of your request to subscribe at the end of the vid!!
I appreciate the view!
Good info. I’m just getting back into fishing after not doing it since I was a teen
Welcome back! What kind of fishing are you getting back in to?
@@tightlineshightides catfish and crappies in local lakes
How about the hybrid circle hooks like the team catfish double actions or the wisker seeker triple threats?
I’ve never actually used them
Informative video. Thanks for making it.
Thank you!
Thanks looking forward to more videos.
Thanks for the sub! More videos are coming soon. Just need the weather to cooperate with me ;-)
Tight Lines Rusty!
Great videos
On the first hooks
I seen some other use a loop knot on them
What are your thoughts on that?
Thanks for all you do
Not sure about a loop knot… but it will work I suppose. I use loop knot if I want more free play action with the lure
Thanks for this explanation mate!
thank you for watching and commenting!
Tight Lines!
I ve had fish gut hooked while using a circle hook.
no hook is perfect, but statistically the circle hooks has significantly fewer gut hooks.
Great stuff. Thank you
Thank you!
Good video but your sound is very low
I agree. Please boost audio level. Video was very informative.
Sorry… I was just getting into the video game and wasn’t quite hitting the mark on sound. I think I’ve got it figured out now and thanks for the feedback
whats wrong with your low audio?
Hey! thanks for the feedback. This was my first video so probably newb growing pains. I have introduced a mic to the setup so hopefully new videos are better.

Check out the new videos, sound is much better
Sound quality is crap

SPEAK LOUDER
Roger that… this was video number 1 or 2 so was still getting my production feet under me

Thanks for the view all the way from Thailand! What kind of fish are you catching over there?
