If your tring to get the most distance casting chunks your going to have to bury the hook in the chunk. I leave just the barb protruding on a 8/0 octopus. For me, circle hooks aren't as effective for that reason. This is why hooking a fresh chunk through the bellie is so effective, more barb being exposed results in better hook sets.
