Rick, I've had an awful hookup ratio with circle hooks, compared to regular octopus hooks. I started last year with circle hooks for a few weeks, then switched to regular octo and it seemed like my hookup ration almost doubled. I was catching relatively the same size fish as well - small keepers, up to 20+#.
I haven't gut-hooked a fish since very early last season.
Maybe I just don't have the technique with circles down. Any thoughts?
