Skip this if you need a specific numbered size rather than an assorted 170-piece set, or if you target species where a worm hook or EWG style, like the Berkley options, fits your presentation better than a circle hook.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Circle Circle Hooks ships 170 pieces in a single BLACK-170PCS pack for $12.98, built from high carbon steel and weighing 0.21 kilograms total. That per-unit cost undercuts the Gamakatsu 58414-25, which runs $27.79 for 25 hooks, a price gap that only widens once you account for pack size.
The circle hook design is a specific technique choice, meant for setups where the hook rotates into the corner of the mouth on a steady pull rather than a hard hookset. That makes this pack a fit for bait fishing rather than the worm or EWG rigging the Berkley entries are built around, so buyers should match the technique to their own fishing style before ordering.
Review volume tells its own story here. With 918 ratings averaging 4.7 stars and 1,000+ units bought last month, this is clearly one of the more frequently purchased hook packs in this comparison set, trailing only the Gamakatsu in raw rating count while beating every alternative on units moved recently.
Pros
- 170 hooks per pack works out to about 7.6 cents per hook, well below the Gamakatsu's roughly $1.11 per hook
- 4.7-star average across 918 reviews is a large enough sample to trust
- 1,000+ bought last month is the highest recent demand figure among the four hooks compared here
- High carbon steel construction matches the material spec of the pricier Gamakatsu pick
- 170-piece count means restocking trips are infrequent for anglers who fish often
Cons
- Sold as a single BLACK-170PCS bulk pack, not broken into individual numbered sizes like the Gamakatsu listing
- Circle hook design only suits bait presentations, not worm or EWG techniques used for bass fishing
- No stated target species, so buyers have to infer suitability from hook style alone
- 0.21 kilograms of hooks in one pack means less precise portioning compared to smaller counted packs

Performance notes
A circle hook is built so the point curves back toward the shank, which is meant to set itself in the corner of a fish's mouth as it swims away rather than requiring a hard hookset from the angler. That geometry is specific to bait fishing techniques like soaking cut bait or live bait under a slip sinker. High carbon steel is a common choice for hook wire because it holds an edge and resists bending under load better than softer alloys, which matters when a pack is priced for volume rather than premium finishing. At 0.21 kilograms for 170 pieces, each hook averages a little over a gram, consistent with a small to mid-size circle hook meant for panfish through modest saltwater bottom species rather than heavy big-game hooks.
What buyers say
A 4.7-star average holding across 918 reviews suggests the rating is stable rather than propped up by a handful of early buyers. The 1,000+ bought last month figure is the strongest recent demand signal of the four hooks in this set, outpacing the Gamakatsu's 100+ despite that product carrying more total reviews. Reading the pattern, this looks like a pack that gets reordered often, which fits a consumable product where anglers lose hooks to snags and re-buy in bulk rather than piece by piece.

Frequently asked questions
How many hooks come in the Circle Circle Hooks pack?
The pack contains 170 hooks in a single BLACK-170PCS bulk configuration, priced at $12.98 total, which comes out to roughly 7.6 cents per hook based on the listed price.
What material are these hooks made from?
They are made from high carbon steel, the same base material used in the pricier Gamakatsu 58414-25 hooks in this comparison, weighing 0.21 kilograms for the full 170-piece pack.
Are circle hooks a good fit for bass fishing?
Circle hooks are designed for bait presentations where the hook sets itself as a fish swims away, which differs from the worm and EWG hook techniques the Berkley alternatives use for active bass rigging, so match the style to your technique first.
