Gami= To thin...Mustad 94150 6/0 Live bait short shank, best bang for the buck...awesome eel hook, need to sharpen. Circle hooks(AKA "SISSY" Hooks) suck IMO ....Takes the fun out of it for me, I like letting them run and then rearing back with a solid hook set..letting a fish hook themselves takes all the fun out of it...another 21st century way of doing things..screw that Cross there eyeballs! Using circle hooks is like Hunting with rubber bullets
I never ever hang on the Bottom, if thats going on then there is a problem with the way one is fishing, has nothing to do with circle hooks, I have been using the same hook for 20 some odd years and dont "hang" bottom with it.......
