SKU – BKKCC-SS8/0

Product Details and Uses

The BKK Competition Circle -SS 8/0 is a specific model of circle hook designed for ethical and regulated big-game fishing, particularly targeting pelagic species like marlin and tuna.

These are the sharpest circle hooks we sell and are ideal for live or deadbait setups.

The “-SS” in the name stands for Super Slide, which is BKK’s specialized coating.

Here are the key features and specifications for this hook:

Feature	Detail
Hook Type	Inline Circle Hook (non-offset).
Primary Use	Big-game and billfish fishing, ideal for rigging live or dead baits. It is IGFA-compliant and designed to meet tournament regulations.
Size	8/0. This is a large size, suitable for substantial saltwater species.
Material/Gauge	High-Strength Carbon Steel (often a 1X Light Wire version) that is tempered for strength, offering a balance of fast penetration and durability.
Point Design	Needle Sharp Point (sometimes Hand Ground technology) for swift and easy penetration on tough-mouthed fish.
Hook-up	True Circle and Inline Point design ensure a consistent jaw or lip corner hook-up. This is crucial for catch-and-release (C&R) as it minimizes the chances of deep-hooking the fish’s throat or gut cavity.
Finish	Super Slide (-SS) Coating. This is a low-friction, matte black/dark coating that drastically reduces resistance, allowing the hook to penetrate quickly and seamlessly. It also reduces flash underwater.
Corrosion Resistance	Excellent anti-corrosion properties, necessary for harsh saltwater environments.
Packaging	The 8/0 size is typically sold in 5-pack quantities.
