It is designed for bait fishing for tuna and other large saltwater predators, particularly drifting. The wide gap accommodates large baits, and the integrated stainless steel swivel allows 360° rotation for bait presentation. Choose the size to match your bait and intended fish.
The sizes are 3/0, 4/0, 6/0, 8/0 and 10/0. Packs contain five hooks in 3/0 and 4/0, four in 6/0 and 8/0, and three in 10/0. Listed weights are 12.7 g for 4/0 and 6/0, 20.3 g for 8/0 and 22 g for 10/0. No weight is supplied for 3/0, so choose primarily by hook size and then compare weight and pack content.
No. The supplier explicitly states 100 kg only for 10/0. The other sizes share reinforced construction but have no supplied kilogram strength rating. Use the 100 kg figure only when comparing the 10/0, not as a fish-weight limit or drag setting.
As the rod is lifted, the hook is designed to slide towards the mouth corner. This supports secure hooking, easier removal and a lower risk of deep hooking, rather than guaranteeing a particular outcome. Use pliers or an unhooking tool to reduce contact with the sharp point.
Check for bent points, damage and corrosion before use, and make sure the line connection is secure. Replace damaged hooks rather than continuing to fish with them. Store them dry in a secure box or hook holder and cover exposed points when not in use.

The VMC 8386BS TUNA CIRCLE 360° combines a reinforced circle hook with an integrated stainless steel swivel for drifting with bait for tuna and other large saltwater predators. The swivel allows 360° rotation to support bait presentation and hook-ups, while reducing the fish's opportunity to shake the hook free during the fight.
The wide gap accommodates large baits. The circle shape is designed to slide into the corner of the mouth as the rod is lifted, helping secure the fish and making unhooking easier. It reduces the risk of deep hooking, which can improve survival after release, but does not guarantee a particular hook position or outcome. The reinforced construction supports demanding fights, and the hook has a Black Nickel coating.
The range includes 3/0, 4/0, 6/0, 8/0 and 10/0. Choose the hook size to suit the bait and intended fish. The wide-gap design is shared across the range, rather than being exclusive to the largest size.
The 3/0 and 4/0 packs contain five hooks each, the 6/0 and 8/0 packs contain four, and the 10/0 pack contains three. Listed weights are 12.7 g for both 4/0 and 6/0, 20.3 g for 8/0 and 22 g for 10/0. No weight is supplied for 3/0. Only the 10/0 has an explicit 100 kg strength claim. This is a hook-strength specification, not a recommended fish weight or drag setting, and it must not be transferred to the other sizes.
Check the hook and line connection before use. Replace hooks with bent points, damage or corrosion. Use pliers or an unhooking tool to limit contact with the point, and cover or secure hooks when they are not in use. Store them dry in a secure tackle box or hook holder, away from unattended children and pets. Use only for fishing and follow local regulations.
