i think, but am not sure, that luds is talking about the gami circles. a buddy of ours was using them and losing some good fish. it took a while for us to notice that the point of the hook was breaking at the bend - and he was fishing them "right", not setting the hook.

octi's are decent hooks. but try out the gami live bait (not live bait hd) and you won't go back. best eel hooks out there IMHO.

another thing that i noticed (and it may just be me) but i've had better hookup ratios when using my 1213m (glass) for eels with 7/0 live bait hooks than the 6/0 that i typically use. i've also found that the glass rod sucks for riggies (not only because its too heavy) because its too soft to drive the 9/0 siwashes home.
