circle hook suggestions
Used to using the light wire eagle claw 2004 hooks for sails. Now need a suggestion for heavier wire, larger in-line circles for tournament fishing for larger billfish? Need tourney legal non offset. thanks. tom

The hottest big game inline circle hook is the Eagle Claw 2045. It come in sizes 18/0, 19/0 and 20/0. We have clients that have been using them in Panama the last couple months with great success. I like it better than the Mustads because it has a bigger gap.
Good Luck, -Hunter

Midwire 2004
Eagle Claw has taken the very Popular 2004ELF Light wire, Sailfish circle and come out with a midwire version of the same hook. Number is a 2004ELM (I think, I can't keep track of all these hooks!). Pretty nice hook with more meat yet not too thick.
