Check price on AmazonBest for
Anglers targeting catfish, walleye or perch who want circle hooks in multiple sizes without buying separate packs for each. Good for anyone who fishes varied conditions and wants one box to cover most rig setups.
Skip if
Skip this if you need a specific technique like EWG, weedless or worm hooks, since circle hooks serve a different hook-set style built around self-hooking rather than an active hookset.

973 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Afmivs pack stands out in this comparison for sheer scale, 160 hooks spanning six sizes from 1/0 up to 6/0, all for $9.99. That works out to about 6 cents per hook, the lowest per-unit cost in this lineup, and the 2,000+ bought last month figure dwarfs every other hook in this set.
Built from high carbon steel and weighing 1 pound for the full assortment, these are heavier gauge hooks than the panfish-oriented options elsewhere in this comparison, matching their listed target species of catfish, walleye and perch. The circle hook technique is designed to set in the corner of the mouth as a fish swims away, reducing gut-hooking compared to a straight hook.
At 973 reviews and 4.6 stars, this pack sits in the same rating tier as several alternatives here, just behind the Gamakatsu's 4.8 stars and Berkley EWG's 4.8 stars, but with a review count that is close to double most of the others aside from the Gamakatsu's 2,500. The combination of low price, high review count and by far the strongest bought last month figure suggests this is the volume leader in this category.
Pros
- 160 hooks across six sizes (1/0 through 6/0) for $9.99, about 6 cents per hook

Cons

- 4.6-star rating trails the 4.8 stars posted by the Gamakatsu and Berkley EWG hooks
- Not suited to bass or trout anglers looking for EWG or spear point styles
- No brand name recognition compared to Gamakatsu or Berkley

Performance notes
Circle hooks are designed so the point curves back toward the shank, which typically results in the hook catching in the corner of a fish's mouth as it turns away rather than requiring an active hookset. This matters for catfish, walleye and perch fishing, where fish often take bait and move, since a traditional hookset timed wrong can miss or gut-hook the fish. At 1 pound for the full 160-piece assortment, these run heavier gauge than the panfish-focused hooks in this set, appropriate for the larger average size and fight strength of catfish and walleye. The six-size spread from 1/0 to 6/0 covers a wide range of bait sizes, useful for anglers who adjust rig size based on conditions or bait rather than sticking to one setup.
What buyers say
A 4.6-star rating across 973 reviews puts this hook set in solid standing, and the 2,000+ bought last month figure is the clear standout in this comparison, roughly double or more the demand seen on other hooks here. That combination of high review count and strong purchase volume suggests broad, repeat-level adoption among catfish, walleye and perch anglers, likely tied to the low per-hook cost and wide size range that reduces the need for multiple separate purchases.
