I have been using Mustad 12/0 circles for years and they work great.It takes a little time to learn how to put it in the bait though but once you get the hang of it ,it 's easy. Same thing when you get a hit....I fish with the bail open ,holding the line with my index finger, let the fish pick it up and run with if for a 4 or 5 count.Then lower the rod click the bail and reel till the line is tight and raise the rod tip as you reel in.This timing all take practice but once you get it down you will not miss fish and they will be hooked in the corner of the mouth almost evey time...even blooofish .I've caught many big blues on flouro leaders with circle hooks, a big benefit to the fish as they don't float when you release them!
