T-Lap...can you believe that "WE" agree?
well, i refuse to fish circle hooks anymore so we are ok. i put a full season of testing into them about 4 years ago. i had more dropped fish and gut hooked fish than i have ever had with normal hooks. i don't stick to any one plan when getting a hait such as drop rod and count or stick right away. the feel of the pick-up delegates what procedure for me. the first trip each year is always a little unproductive, but once i get the feel feel back my take to hook up ratio stays very high. as with a lot of things, if it works for you stick with it. if not, copy me and you'll do just fine!
