Putting any bait on a circle hook takes practice.It took me a while to get out of the habit of thinking the same way as when using a "J" hook . Once you get the hang of it though ,it becomes second nature ,just like the "not setting the hook" part of circle hook fishing.Some guys cannot get used to that. They are not for everybody ,but they work well for me. Try practicing putting the hook in on a dead eel until you find the right "groove" and it will be easy after that.
