With the ever increasing popularity of circle hooks and their new found success, some fisheries have gone to circle hook only regulations. Along with that, the regulations call for a limited degree of offset or not offset at all. Some feel that too much offset on a circle hook negates its ability to set only in the corner of the jaw and can result in a few fish being hooked too deep. Gamakatsu's new "in-line" circle hook is designed to meet those regulations that call for a non-offset circle hook. Based on the same design as the very popular Octopus Circle Hook, the In-Line Circle Hook features no offset.
