Well, I used 6/0 octopus circle hooks alot this year chunkin macks. Out of the 400 or so fish I caught on them they were hooked in the corner of the mouth. the few I gutt hooked was because I lost touch with the bait. I use fireline which increases the sensitivity. I think the biggest atribute to my success is I do not use any weight because were I chunk it isn't that deep. Also I lost very few hookups, if I did it was because I set the hook (old habits) instead of just tightening it. Good luck!
