Circle hooks are great. I don't reel to set them. If you reel to set the hook, you are going to put twist in your line. Sooner or later, that twist will catch up with you. The way I set the hook with a circle hook, I lift the rod gently so the fish can pull line off the drag but has a little resistance. At the same time, I palm the spool with my right hand while I hold the rod on the foregrip. Take a few steps back and it works for me.
On the same subject, has anyone tried circle hooks for other species out of the surf like freshwater guys?
