Does anyone know where I can find Circle hooks that are not offset? I can't find them anywhere. I know they make them, but I've looked at every tackle shop near me, and also in every catalog that I have. Whenever I ask a tackle shop about them, they look at me like I'm stupid, and say that they don't make them without the offset.
What I'm talking about is this: if you hold the hook vertically, and it is facing you, the point of the hook is in line with the shank. All circle hooks that I have been able to find have an offset point to them.
I'm looking for a non-offset hook, because this type of hook cuts down on gut hooking fish even more than a regular circle hook.
I'm not positive, but I've heard that Eagle Claw makes this type of hook. I was told that it is red in color, but I don't recall the name of the model. But, I still have not even been able to locate this hook.
Thanks for any help.
