Circle Hook or not?

[fknricter]

i also have become a believer in the circle hooks, my favorite are the owner mutu and super mutu (super is thicker gage) i really like the light wire mutu's and havnt had one straighten on me yet. also a big fan of the ringed hooks too. i got a pup thresher in december and it had a perfect, corner of the mouth, hookset that made for an easy release, and as someone mentioned, its really cool to put the reel in gear and let the fish hook itself!

I too was very skeptical of circles.After all look at them,how do they work?I dont understand all the physics but they do. If you talk to serious tuna fisherman(longrangers)they are 100% circle hooks.Marlin tourneys use them,they have no teeth and are ALL bone.Give them a try,you will not be dissapointed.
