Circle Hooks
 
Well add me to the list of converts used them yesterday over at Brenton Reef. Hooked up 3 -30 inchers and had zero problems. Kept one for the table and let the other two go. What a great guy I am huh... the hooks worked fine with eels. Just count to 5 and reel em in.

Clammer don't fret their are plenty of harbor blues for you all around castle hill and fort wetherall. :laughs:

im a big fan ive used em ever since a couple yrs back i hooked a schoolie and wasnt payin attn to my rod and he got the hook so far down i couldnt see it needless to say i believe it died. used em ever since and havent had a gut hook since

I love em too... I found though that the sucess rate goes way up if you use 6/0 or higher. if the hooks are smaller, they sometimes miss the target

Tried em, don't like em. Caught a 25lber on one, the hook ended up on the outside of the fishes face. Also like setting the hook(fun part)
