What's the general consensus on hook size (circle) for fishing eels and should it be different for fishing something larger, like pogeies or Mackerel?
I used to fish cut bait a lot on "j" hooks and gut hooked a lot of shorts - back when it was 36".
I've since become more of a catch and release fan and would rather drop a fish than release it with a hook in it's gut. I fish primarily circles when bait fishing now.
