I can't speak for the BIG tuna, but the long rangers use them a lot.
For smaller species I was made a believer a couple years ago. I am convinced they make a difference in a picky bite or when the bait is not particularly robust.
A lot of guys are ringing their own hooks. I might look into this. Generally the ringed hooks are the heavier models and I like to use lighter wire hooks than most for better bait performance.
Flyliners aren't my favorite style but they're the lightest I've seen with rings, and the lightest chemically sharpenned hooks I've seen besides the Octopus style. I'd love to be able to make up a few hundred 2/0 ringed VMC Livebaits...
