Damn circle hooks, who wants to use those things anyway... jokes.
Seriously, as John mentioned, he is not a big fan of them while eeling. I had a similar experience the one time I tried them with eels. I had three eels slip or swim off in a couple of dozen casts... has anyone or does anyone use them with eels? have you had that problem?
I'm definitely an advocate of them because of the reduced mortality rates. I would use them for chunking, though I really don't use bait much other than eels. Maybe I've given up on them too soon.
