Its point turns back towards the shank instead of standing parallel to it, so it will not drive into whatever it touches. Under tension it slides until the shank reaches the corner of the jaw, then rotates and takes hold from the outside — in the jaw hinge, not down the throat. You do not strike it; you wind into it. Around that the 4212 and 4213 add an \u003cstrong\u003eextra-wide gap\u003c\/strong\u003e, so a live prawn sits inside the bend without crowding the point, in tournament-grade carbon with a chemically sharpened cutting point, a barb, a ringed eye and a black-nickel finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4212 or 4213 — wire, not shape.\u003c\/strong\u003e The two share the bend, the gap and the finish. The \u003cstrong\u003e4212\u003c\/strong\u003e is the heavy build and the one that goes large, six sizes from #4 up to \u003cstrong\u003e#2\/0\u003c\/strong\u003e — take it when the bait may be picked up by a barramundi or a grouper rather than a prawn, or over rock where a hook must not open. The \u003cstrong\u003e4213\u003c\/strong\u003e is the slim-wire version, five sizes #5 to #1: less weight hanging on a soft bait, a finer entry and a more delicate presentation for well-fished prawns that drop anything heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow they differ from the 4215.\u003c\/strong\u003e Anglar lists a third circle here, the \u003cstrong\u003e4215 Wide Gap J-Type Inline Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the difference is the point plane. On the 4215 the point lies inline, in the same plane as the shank; on the 4212 and 4213 it is \u003cstrong\u003ekirbed\u003c\/strong\u003e, swung slightly to one side. A kirbed point bites earlier and grips harder, converting more of the light takes prawn fishing produces; an inline point finishes in the jaw corner far more consistently and is the version specified where circle hooks are a condition of release. Keeping the catch, the kirbed pair hooks more of them. Releasing, use the 4215 and check your local rules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCircle-style point curved inward — sets itself under tension rather than on a strike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKirbed point for earlier contact on light, tentative takes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra-wide gap giving clearance around live prawn and bulky natural baits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTournament-grade carbon construction for strength and rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemically sharpened cutting point with a sharp retaining barb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong ringed eye for mono, fluorocarbon or leader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack-nickel finish for a discreet underwater appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4212 heavy build in six sizes #4–#2\/0; 4213 slim build in five sizes #5–#1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe set happens at the reel handle\u003c\/strong\u003e — When the tip pulls over, keep the rod low and keep winding until the blank loads.
