VMC 7388 Circle Fishfighter Hook 5 7/0

VMC 7388 Circle Fishfighter Hook 7/0 — Built for Bluefin Tuna

Developed with Europe's top tuna guides, the Circle Fishfighter delivers trophy-class performance on bluefin and other powerful pelagics. The 7/0 size suits live-bait presentations and big-game rigs where hookup ratio matters most.

Engineered Circle Geometry Increases Hookups

The wide gap and 13° reversed point work together to lock fish in the corner of the jaw during the run. This design lets the circle hook rotate and set itself without a hard strike—ideal for live bait and chunk fishing where bluefin often mouth the offering before committing.

Coastal PTFE Coating and Vanadium Steel Construction

Coastal PTFE reduces friction for faster, deeper penetration while protecting against saltwater corrosion. Vanadium steel provides a lighter, stronger wire that won't straighten under the sustained pressure of a tuna run. The Needle Sharp point holds its edge through repeated use.

Choose the Right Variant

Match hook size to bait size and target species for optimal presentation and holding power:

• 6/0 (5 pieces) — medium live baits (mackerel, herring), yellowfin tuna 20–50 kg, amberjack

• 7/0 (5 pieces) — large live baits (bonito, small skipjack), bluefin tuna 50–100 kg, big amberjack and grouper

• 8/0 (4 pieces) — extra-large baits, bluefin tuna 100+ kg, trophy grouper

• 9/0 (4 pieces) — jumbo live baits, giant bluefin tuna 150+ kg

• 10/0 (4 pieces) — oversized baits, bluefin tuna 200+ kg, marlin
