I have recently switched to the Gamakatzu 5/0-6/0 circle hooks. I use a 130# SPRO on 60# Ande and snell the hook,its about 15" long. I attach this to my regular leader via a snap because I do switch from plugs to eels frequently.
The circle has been great, hooking fish in the jaw. Where I've been fishing you can lose touch with the eel after the fish picks it up and I was afraid that I would gut hook them. The circle has been great and it is an incredibly strong setup.
