Demon® Wide Gap Inline Circle Hook - 1X Strong

Outstanding hook for baiting stripers

Strong yet light. Perfect size, strength, and shape for baiting stripers. For stripers, I fish lighter leaders, ~50 lbs or less, with a loop knot or crimp connection to the hook. To keep the leader loop connection from getting stuck in the outside of the gap in the hook eye and pulling out of the eye, I put a drop of epoxy in the gap. This issue is not specific to this hook or brand, but it would be nice if the opening to that gap were closed more tightly or eliminated entirely.

Great hooks

These are my go-to hooks for old drum in the sound.

Good for Halibut

You make a good product, I only wish you offer larger sizes in our smaller diameter wire hook.
