Owner Ringed Flyliner Hooks are ideal for live bait due to the close bend, looped eye, and no offset. This tighter profile lies flatter with the bait, thus minimizing the risk of the gamefish being able to pull the hook away. The ring on the eye enhances freedom of movement for the bait, while giving a pivoting point when the hook is taken by the gamefish, thus minimizing the risk of being pulled away. The wire is not excessively thick, limiting any likelihood of damage to the bait, but is still robust enough to be depended on.
