USe a J style octapus hook. Set the hook and you'll catch 99 percent of the fish that hit. Leave the circle hooks at home. There a big gimmick.

Thanks to everyone who posted!! Great information which I will use to get better at my new hobby (well...addiction for the last 3 years).

If anyone else cares to post, I will continue to monitor and appreciate.

Bruce.

Forget the circle hooks. Some like 'em, some don't; besides my chunks wouldn't fit on 'em!
