Circle hook experiment

[ice_sled]

Ken, I use 7/0, and 8/0 circle hooks for all my catfishing. Big hooks big bait. I rarely get a deep hooked fish. I would estimate that 90% of my fish are hooked in the corner of the mouth. Very few good hits don’t get hooked. I rarely fish with bobbers but when I do they are large. It takes a pretty good tug to pull them down. Generally hooking the fish. I use only medium heavy rods with a fast tip. I let the rod load up never touching the rod till I get a total takedown. Good strong rod holders are worth there weight in gold for this kind of fishing. Had several plastic rod holders snapped off until I invested in some strong metal holders. I am partial to the Octopus Circle hooks. As you can tell I am totally committed and confident in circle hooks.
