Lots of classic plugs balance better with 3 hooks, but certainly there are ways around it and well worth the benefits if coupled with a ban on more deadly hooks used in bait.

I'm curious what the eel guys think, however. Is an octopus a true circle hook? Might they be banned as well?

I used Circles with eels 8-9 years ago and didn't like the results so I switched back but saw I was gut hooking a lot of fish again. 3-4 years ago switched back to Circles and I'm satisfied with results.

Very, very satisifed with the very high amount of fish hooked in the corner of the lip, quick releases, significantly few gut hooked (can't think of any at the moment).
