I don't like circle hooks for live eels either. But I used a circle hook last night 1 1/2 hour into out-going at my marina dropped a herring right next to my boat, since my herring pen is tied to my boat and I figured there could be some attraction to the area. I never even had a chance to close the bail to set the baitrunner and a 32" bass took the herring , after a little line went out I closed the bail and held the rod stiffly for the fish to hook itself, which it did right in the top lip. So I finally got my first real keeper of the season.
Another live bait not to forget about is seaworms, they catch fish and big ones too.
