Yes. The supplier specifies wreck fishing for cod and pollack and freshwater catfish fishing with large baits. Choose the hook size for the bait and target fish, and check local rules before using live bait.
The curved shape helps the hook settle in the mouth corner, reducing deep hooking and easing removal. The supplier describes lifting the rod to set it, so use the circle-hook method rather than treating it as a conventional J-hook. Mouth-corner hooking is not guaranteed on every bite.
The available hook sizes are 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, 6/0, 8/0 and 10/0, with different supplier-listed weights. Construction, offset bend, eye and BN (Black Nickel) coating are shared. Choose by bait size and target fish, with 8/0 and 10/0 at the largest end of the range. The weight basis is unspecified, so it cannot establish individual-hook weight.
Use pliers or an unhooking tool around the sharp points and check for damage or corrosion before each use. The supplied safety guidance calls for dry storage in a secure box, so keep unused hooks covered and replace damaged ones rather than continuing to fish with them.

These forged, eyed circle hooks are intended for wreck fishing for cod and pollack, as well as freshwater catfish fishing with large baits. Their curved circle shape encourages the hook to settle in the corner of the fish's mouth, reducing the risk of deep hooking and making unhooking easier.
The hooks have a forged steel construction, an offset bend and an eye for attaching the line or leader. The finish is BN (Black Nickel). The supplier describes setting the circle hook by lifting the rod, allowing the hook to move into the mouth corner. This handling differs from a conventional J-hook, so the circle pattern is an important choice when planning your bait rig.
The family covers sizes 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, 6/0, 8/0 and 10/0. Match the size to your bait and target fish rather than treating all six versions as interchangeable. The smaller sizes occupy the lower end of this range, while 8/0 and 10/0 provide the largest hook sizes for larger bait presentations. All sizes share the same construction, coating and stated uses.
| Hook size | Supplier-listed weight | | --- | --- | | 2/0 | 5.85 g | | 3/0 | 7.85 g | | 4/0 | 10.77 g | | 6/0 | 11.91 g | | 8/0 | 19.53 g | | 10/0 | 29.56 g |
The supplier does not specify whether these weights refer to an individual hook or the pack, so do not use them as individual-hook weights for rig calculations. Large live baits are a stated catfish application, but use them only where local regulations permit.
Check the point, hook and line connection before fishing. Do not use bent, damaged or corroded hooks. Use pliers or an unhooking tool to reduce direct contact with the sharp points, and keep unused hooks secured in a dry hook box away from children and pets. Follow local fishing rules and never leave tackle or packaging in nature.
