Targeting bronze bream and other front-line edibles with circle hooks has become a game changer for many rock and surf anglers along the KZN coastline.
In this setup, the BKK Inline Heavy Circle UA 2/0 hooks were paired with a neat prawn bait presentation — a highly effective combination when fishing shallow reef structure, gullies and white water zones where front trim feed aggressively.
Why use circle hooks over traditional J-hooks?
• Better jaw hookups
Circle hooks are designed to slide into the corner of the mouth, resulting in cleaner and more secure hookups.
• Less gut hooking
Perfect for catch-and-release fishing and protecting edible species.
• Strong holding power
Once the hook sets into the jaw, fish are less likely to throw the hook during the fight.
• No aggressive striking needed
Instead of striking hard, simply allow the fish to load the rod and apply steady pressure.
The BKK Inline Heavy Circle UA range offers:
• Excellent hook pe*******on
• Ultra anti-rust coating
• Strong forged shank design
• Reliability around rocky terrain and reef structure
When targeting front-line edibles, neat bait presentation, light drag pressure and patience are key. Pink and red prawn are one of the top natural baits for bronze bream and reef species feeding close in.
Simple, effective and reliable fishing.
