I never did it with circle hooks. I guess if you fish the rigged eel such that you wait for the take but don't try to hook the fish , the
circles would work. As I said , on rigged eels , I'm going for a hookupo as soon as I feel anything. That strategy has worked well. I would say a lot of the fish I get on a rigged eel
get it under the chin from the tail hook. It happens when they are bumping the eel rather than going to swallow it. Bass often stun the bait with a bump then come back to eat. When
they wack that eel on a bump , that tail hook just whips up and gets them under the chin. BTW , you get a great fight out of a bass hooked under the chin. Since it can use its head in
the fight it can pull and shake much harder.
