Eben, we found out (jim, joe and I) that the treble in the shads mouth helped out with less gut hooking. The shad there get to pretty decent size, setting up with a single hook, may lead to actually ripping it out of a cows mouf before she can clamp down on it, with the trebles we would hang most fish in the corner of their mouf, or upper pallete. We use a bucktail at the end instead of the shad dart, dunno if that would work out better for you.

Eben,
If you insist on using a single hook go with a 7/0 or 8/0 circle and don't set the hook.

Eben try a 12/0 mustad circle hook in the upper lip. They are not as big as you think (I have used them for years with great success). No gut hook and easy release. Just remember ..let him run with it....when the line goes taut ,turn the handle and raise the rod tip and the hook will set itself.
