Guess I am going to give Owner circle hooks a try. I used to just use their standard J hooks.
DingoKevin - like LJ H20man, I also go vertical with the hook, up through the roof of the bait's mouth and out the top... just don't go from underneath the bait's chin and through the nose (essentially closing its mouth) as this will kill the bait fast without getting water into its gills.
