Pike Fishing using Circle Hooks 

Lovely pike mate. I started using big single hooks about 17 yrs ago. I realised the benefits with no flying trebles, no 5 minutes of untangling the pike twisted and stuck in the net ( which nobody ever shows).i changed after a deep hooking incident and landing numerous doubles on size 16 hooks after taking skimmers and roach, which was fun😂. Honestly i will never go back to trebles really don't see the need, a decent pike will inhale a 6 inch bait no problem. Im a huge advocate for it and genuinely see no difference in my catch ratio. Have a season on them and see how it goes 👍

now using circle hooks, actually octopus hooks from Gamakatsu for the 2nd year. and now all rods I use them. I don't miss more fish than I did before. but the unhooking is so much easier. mostly they are in the hook of the mouth love them

Another cracking Pike fella well done :)

Excellent channel,great vids...really enjoy watching the buzz u have,and get when catching diff specimens of fish,lovely pike mate... Keep up the good work...

Great video. I got back into pike fishing again last year and made the decision to only use circle hooks as I hate trebles. The only time I dropped fish was when I forgot not to strike into fish and just pull into them and it was a real eye opener. The only thing I'm still not sure of is the best place to hook the bait ie tail, middle or head. Any suggestions?

It's impressing how you're can make these good vids in such a short time of each other. Good one 😃

The catfish pro hooks are my favs for pike

Great fishing lee once again 👌 i was talking to a friend Saturday thats local who was fishing the drain and said there was 5 guys on it and all blankd he left around 3ish so unsure if anyone caught anything afterwards

Love your channel. Can I ask why do you slaken the clutch after every cast

Single ot double J hooks for me. Seen circles do some significant scissor damage on smaller fish and trebles just caused chaos when landing too many times

Best method for circle hooks in pike fishing are to leave them in the carp section in shop and to never be put into a pikers tackle box , next time anyone asks to do anything carpiker style say don’t be ridiculous

Lovely Pike mate.

Nice fish. I use circle hooks. You didnt show how it was hooked.

Definitely don't think they're good for legering Lee. I like to hook my bait under the dorsal just enough to tip the head of the bait slightly downward, using an 80g float cast out to just above bottom depth and just trot the bait in the flow...with the head tipping down and moving along it gives the impression of a feeding fish,I've had lots of success using this method plus it keeps me active, but it is the only situation where I use circle hooks. Having said all that you're killing it with the single hook rig! Great fish!

Each to their own ,i will never use circle hooks ,i would be on edge re : the hooking potential ,great looking pike though m8 😊

Hi mate what river is that and what county if you don’t mind saying loved your quest for a river 30 pounder vids 👍🏻

and the another thing the drills are much harder. because they are hooked on the outside of the jaw instead inside I have the feeling they fight harder, less pain 🤔 maybe

Nice
