If im fishing the canal or a b-way, someplace where i am drifting eels i much prefer a circle hook, but when i am casting and retreiving i prefer a live bait hook. I did use the Gami Nautilus circle hooks last year in both the canal and the surf. One was given to me. It worked great in both places till i lost it. I bought some this off season and plan on using them more often. It seems like a good mix between a cirlce and "J" hook. I set the hook similar to a "J" hook and had success, corner mouth, no gut hooks, not many missed strikes.
