Our ringed circle hooks feature super strong, stainless welded rings that create a pivot point in the eye of each hook. This not only allows rigged live baits to swim more naturally, but with the force of a direct pull, the ring actually reduces stress on the hook, making the overall unit stronger. And, because the ring will pivot as you fight an active fish, you can continually apply pressure from the same direction so you don't wear a large hole in the fish's mouth.
