I caught my first fish (actually my daughter caught it) on a herring this weekend and it was gut hooked.

I was using circles and I've been using circles for eels the past two years with mixed results. I just ordered a different brand and style to see if it makes a difference.

I've heard so many reliable sources swear be circles, but I haven't seen the results.

Do the circle users out there let the fish run at all, or not. I'm livelining a herring or eels in a rod holder while fishing plastic in the rocks. I use the clicker or light drag to allow the fish to pick up the bait with no tension. Should I just leave the reel in gear?

When fishing eels from shore, I generally bow the rod then just reel... I gut hooked 2 of 3 hooked fish a night last fall.

We'll see how the new ones work.
