I don't use circle hooks with my plastics, but I did give them a try last year when dragging eels. The KEY IS DON'T SET THE HOOK, because if you do; fish gone. With that in mind, I have to say I'm very pleased with the success I had last year. My largest with the circle hooks (4/0 I think) was a fat 35 lber off Cowen's Ledge.

It might not be broke, but that doesn't mean the new stuff should be ruled out so quickly.
