Circle Hooks

[Rob Rockcrawler]

Gami 6/0 octopus circles is the way to go for me with eels. When im bait fishing which isnt often i go to a 5/0 for clams and herring on the north shore, i always outfish my buddy but he is busy text messaging his g/f. He hasnt figured out circle hooks yet, so i play surgon when he hooks deep.

I use circles for everything except jigs and plugs and believe that they cut down on dead stripers because 9 out of 10 are hooked in the corner of the mouth instead of the throat. But, it is the person holding the rod makes all the difference.

nice....especially for releasing fish.

Well, if that hit happens to be a fish 40lbs or up I want it hooked as deep as I can get it! lips rip especially on big fish, just my opinion....mustad 94150 6/0 for me all the way..............

Bill, actually I got my 40# and several mid 30's on circles.

I use them for dead sticking for Fluke and what not. I can't get the hang of using them when I hold the hand.
