Having the right gear is one way you can make sure your released fish have the best chance of survival. Non-offset, non-stainless-steel circle hooks are a great example of this. These hooks, which are designed so that the point is turned perpendicularly back to the shank, are less likely to hook a fish in an important body part, such as its stomach, eye, or gill. Why use non-stainless steel? If the hook is still in the fish when released, the non-stainless steel material will rust out more quickly than stainless steel. When you use this hook, you're increasing the likelihood that the fish you catch and release will survive and that you'll be able to catch them another day!
