I pretty much use circles for all live bait now. But used an aki twist this week end. Its a rather long shanked hook with a big off set. Its designed to grab a big chunk of meat right when the hook is set. So basically the exact hook you don't want for catch and release. Hook the bait just like you would on any other hook. Across the nose or up thru the roof of the mouth. I've gone to the up thru the roof of the mouth on all live baits. I don't have empirical data but I find I get less hooks turned around and buried in the bait's heads this way. Mike
