Well, I use 6/0 to 7/0 circle hooks for multiple species. I like them particularly because circle hooks are designed to "hunt" for the corner jaw of the fish. I've also noticed a direct increase in hook-ups over all; and when I do get a good hook set, I rarely ever loose a fish. I use them exclusively for live baiting large gamefish, the majority of the time king-sized flathead catfish. I was seriously considering just spending the money and getting a few packs of Gamakatsu's. I wish I could find a bulk pack of them. I also need some Kahle hooks as well. I use Kahle hooks for flounder, speckled trout, and a few other species that have an over-sized mouth. Any suggestions?
