The reason I like the 8/0 is because I try to use circles with bait. With a small circle I am always afraid of having a small gap and missing fish. You know the dilemma of when to strike when fishing eels? Well I'd like to think I've solved this problem by using a circle on the eel with a baitrunner reel. When I feel the tappity-tap I flip it into baitrunner mode and let the fish peel off a bit before re-engagin the main drag.
