Is it just me or is it not part of the thrill and excitement of fishing to set the hook? Circle hooks are like letting the fish hook itself. Yeah, it may be better for less gut-hooks but it takes the sport out of it for me. I prefer to wait for that initial pick-up when chunking and then setting the hook hard! When fishing large chunks or whole herring, often times a big bass will tail-slap the bait (thus that initial bump) before spinning around and taking the bait. That where the thrill for me is. What next, a device that reels them in and fillets them for ya?
