I agree but a live eel is also fished like a lure and it seems that is targeted for circle hooks...maybe..

With eels we may have more of a problem with the endangered species petition.

My problem with yoyo rigs is their continued potential to kill when not attached to a hook. If a yoyo pogy falls off they could still be ingested by other fish, birds, etc, and be fatal. No other R&R method I can think of has that same level of "potential to kill when not being used" - hence why I see this method as unethical.
