Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp Circle Sea Hook

Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp Circle Sea Hook – Bronze Finish (L702G)

The Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp Circle Sea Hook (L702G) is the ultimate conservation-minded hook for both fresh and saltwater anglers. Engineered with a specialized circular shape, this hook is designed to slide out of a fish's throat and rotate perfectly into the corner of the jaw. This virtually eliminates gut-hooking, making it the premier choice for catch-and-release fishing.

Forged with Lazer Sharp chemically sharpened points, these hooks require no traditional "hook set"—simply apply steady pressure as the fish swims away, and the hook does the work for you. The classic bronze finish provides a natural, stealthy presentation for wary fish.

Pro Tip: Don't Set the Hook!

The biggest mistake anglers make with Circle Sea hooks is a hard "snap" hook set. When you feel a bite, simply reel in the slack and let the line go tight. The hook’s unique geometry will roll into the corner of the jaw on its own. If you "jerk" the rod, you’ll likely pull the hook right out of the fish's mouth.

Pro Guide: How to Rig Circle Hooks for Maximum Success

To get the most out of your Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp Circle Sea Hooks, you need to adjust your setup to let the hook do its job. Because these hooks are designed to rotate and lock into the jaw, how you tie and bait them makes all the difference.

1. The "Snell" Knot is King

While a standard Palomar or Improved Clinch knot works, a Snell Knot is the best choice for circle hooks. By wrapping the line around the shank, the pull comes from the eye in a way that forces the hook to pivot sharply toward the fish's jaw when the line goes tight.

2. Leave the Gap Open

Never "bury" a circle hook inside your bait. If the gap between the hook point and the shank is blocked by a thick piece of bait, the hook cannot rotate around the jawbone.

• Minnows/Shiners: Hook them through the lips or just behind the dorsal fin.

• Chunk Bait: Pass the hook through once, leaving the point and barb completely exposed.

3. Maintain "Hands-Off" Discipline

When using these hooks, fishing with a soft-tip rod or using a rod holder is highly effective.

• The Wait: Let the fish turn and run. You will see the rod tip slowly double over.

• The "Non-Set": Do not jerk the rod. Simply pick it up and start a steady, fast retrieve. The circular shape will slide until it hits the corner of the mouth, where it will "catch" and bury itself.

4. Easy Release

One of the biggest benefits of the L702G is that the fish is almost always hooked in the corner of the mouth. This makes for a much faster release, ensuring the fish stays healthy and returns to the water with minimal stress.
