There may be confusion between circle hooks and inline replacement hooks.
And you’ll want to know the difference when you change out the hooks on your topwater lures or suspending plugs.
If you put a circle hook on your hard baits, you are going to miss a lot of fish.
That’s because the eye on a circle hook is turned perpendicular to the shank of the hook.
And the point of the hook faces directly back towards the shank of the hook.
The hook would be turned to the side because of the orientation of the eye if you replaced your hard bait hooks with circle hooks.
On a replacement inline hook, the eye is in line with the shank of the hook.
So when you use inline hooks on your topwater lures, the hooks can face to the front or to the back of the lure.
Here are the hooks I used for this video:
