Do they have tubes with circles? Never actually had much trouble with fish taking a tube down, BTW.

For my New Year resolution, I'm going to invest all my time and money into developing the perfect circle hook. I've already spoken to Owner hooks and they are very interested in my design. I will be shipping the first prototype to Mr. Nakamichi early 2021 for testing purposes. Once approved, it will go straight to marketing.
- Although not needed, it is guaranteed to have the sharpest point on the market
- As an added safety-measure, there are break-away sections built into both the shank and belly-bend of the hook
- It has a proven 0.000003 % chance of Not permanently hurting any marine life
- Constructed of a 2-part steel material guaranteed to begin oxidizing if left un-baited for a preset amount of time
Although I'll be forfeiting the rights once accepted by Owner, they are allowing me to "name" the hook, which was something I had requested. As I believe this IS the future of circle hooks, I wanted to leave a legacy that can be traced back to my family tree for years to come.
With all the respect that I have for the members of this board, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions that I could incorporate with my own thoughts for a name?

I am correct Mike, at least as far as the Mass regs are concerned.
This requirement does not apply in the following circumstances: 1) when a recreational angler is fishing aboard a for-hire vessel on a for-hire trip; and 2) when a recreational angler is fishing with natural bait attached to an artificial lure that is trolled, jigged, or casted and retrieved (e.g., ‘tube and worm’).”

might be a little premature, but I am seriously leaning towards quitting my day job. Might have to wait until I finish up some contracts in the first quarter and find that 26 Regulator (already working on the truck to pull it with).

Had a day in early August slow trolling small macs and pogies on 6/0 in line circles. ( hooks in the nose )
My buddy and I got about 30 fish between 15-25 pounds. Even if a fish dropped the Mac it was shortly picked up again. All fish were corner or top lip hooked. No gut jobs. Just let the fish swim off and slowly come tight on the line. Works as advertised.
