Your question gets me thinking, I have been making some simple lures and my dad used a circle hook for the tail, i am going to replace it with a single j-style hook. I may be wrong but i believe the circle hook was primarily developed for bait fishing, most fish swipe at the lure and having that open hook to catch the lip(or with blitzing blues often their gill plate) is best. I never have gut hooked fish on lures. The natural way you retrieve lures at a faster pace usually means the fish get hooked in the lip, if I hear that circle hooks increase hookups I'd switch, I just can't believe thats the case .
