For the past 5-6 years i used circles exclusively for eels 5-7/0 gamis. Then last year i lost my circle hook touch, and missed way to many fish. I dont know what changed, before if i had a take i had a fish. So far this year i have been using j hooks and have yet to gut hook a fish. I was shocked by my buddy using 2/0 live bait hooks. I thought they would get swallowed everytime. He outfished me pretty bad at the block until i borrowed a hook of his. I think the smaller hooks made difference during daylight, not so much afer dark. When chunking i really like circles, but havent done it in a couple years.
