The BKK Inline Heavy Circle UA hook is a robust and adaptable fishing hook that boasts BKK's renowned Ultra-Antirust coating. Rigorously tested, this coating offers exceptional rust resistance, enduring up to 300 hours even under laboratory conditions. The hook features an inline point configuration, making it tournament-approved. Furthermore, this increases its efficacy in achieving solid hook-ups on the fish's jaw or lip. This design is particularly well-suited for catch-and-release practices. Additionally, the hook is equipped with an exceptionally sharp point, ensuring remarkable penetration power. In more detail, this is essential for securing your catch effectively.
Inline Hook Point
An inline hook point, also known as an inline hook or an in-line circle hook, is a type of fishing hook. The design of these hooks places their points aligned with the shank of the hook. This is instead of being offset or curved. As a result, the point of the hook lies in the same plane as the shank, creating an inline configuration. Inline hooks are commonly used in circle hook designs such as the BKK inline heavy circle.
The inline hook point design is often used in catch-and-release fishing. This is because it reduces the chances of deep hooking and minimizes harm to the fish. When a fish takes the bait and the angler sets the hook, the inline design tends to catch the fish in the jaw or lip, making it easier to release the fish with minimal injury.
Inline hooks are popular in many forms of recreational fishing, including saltwater and freshwater fishing, where conservation and ethical fishing practices are important. They are particularly useful when targeting species that you plan to release, as they increase the likelihood of a safe and successful catch-and-release experience.
Straight-Eye
A straight eye, in the context of fishing hooks, refers to the orientation of the eye of the hook. The eye is the small loop at the end of the hook where the fishing line is attached. A straight eye means that the eye of the hook is in line with the shank of the hook. Ultimately, this forms a straight and continuous angle. In other words, the eye is not bent or offset from the shank; it creates a linear extension of the hook's body.
Hooks with a straight-eye design are commonly used in various fishing applications. They are versatile and can be employed for different fishing techniques and bait presentations. The straight eye allows the line to pass through smoothly and consistently. Moreover, this can be particularly advantageous when using certain knots or rigs.
In contrast, some hooks have an offset or turned-down eye, which is bent slightly downward or to the side of the shank. This offset design can provide different advantages, such as enhancing the presentation of live bait or increasing the hooking efficiency with certain types of lures. The choice of hook design, whether straight eye or offset eye, often depends on the specific fishing method and the angler's preferences.
