Its point turns back towards the shank rather than 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 — lodging in the jaw hinge, not deep inside. Around that sits a wide-gap J-type body, tournament-grade carbon and a turned-up ringed eye in black nickel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCircle geometry — sets itself in the jaw corner under tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInline point: it lies in the plane of the shank, not twisted to one side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide-gap J-type profile for clearance around a live prawn or bulky bait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEagle-cutting, chemically sharpened needle point with a retaining barb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurned-up ringed eye for mono, fluorocarbon or leader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack nickel; five sizes, #5 to #1, twenty per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInline versus offset.\u003c\/strong\u003e On an inline (non-offset) circle the point sits in the plane of the shank; on an offset or kirbed circle it is twisted sideways. The offset bites earlier and grips harder, but it also lets the point catch on something before it reaches the jaw hinge — cancelling the reason for fishing a circle at all. Inline circles finish in the jaw corner far more consistently and put far fewer hooks down a throat, which is why they are the version specified where circles are a condition of release. Check your local rules.\u003c\/p\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.
