Gorilla is a term coined by owner hooks.They are manufactured with a thicker wire than normal.
I personally have come to love circle hooks.They hook a fish in the corner of the mouth and are superior to any j hook which may or may not hook a fish in the corner.
ALL commercial fisherman use them(Long Liners)They are perfect for the type of fishing we do on a kayak.I have landed a wahoo 35# with a circle hook and flouro leader.
Circles are what they use for Huge halibut in alaska but I use trap hook rigs usually.Halibut need to be hooked on that first snatch is my opinion and I like the owner Boa rigs.
Circles are all I use for live bait.Its really cool to just put the reel in gear and just feel the rod load up and knowing you have a good hookset.
