First of all you don't have to set the circle hooks...you just reel hard and the hook sets into the corner of the mouth. The design allows it to wrap around where as a regular hook just goes in. Now when there is slack the hook can't simply slip out. I don't know if those fish would have been caught otherwise...maybe so...maybe not...but most of the time when the fish I have set into with regular hooks get some slack...away they go...unless they are hooked deep. either way I am gonna stick with the circles. I have noticed that a lot of the fishing shows from the keys and down south use these hooks exclusively...there must be some advantage there. also...I have caught several bluefish with these hooks and mono because the hook gets into the corner of the mouth they are not able to bite through the line. its not like I have stock or own a company that makes them...just thought I would let the forum know for those who are sKeptical or have never heard about them. never know until you try em. it sure is a hard habit to break not setting into the fish though!!!!
quit wishin, go fishin
