New circle hook fan

Just started using these two weekend ago. Started using them for carp for my kids (not to good at setting hook yet without slack in line). They worked nice, all in the corner of the mouth. I used them bass fishing with live bait, I was actually targeting bullheads on the bottom with worms. However, the largies were picking up the worm and running and all were also in the corner of the mouth. These work great, only had one missed hook up with over 10 fish.

    for night fishing all i use are circle hooks. just cast out, set the rod down, when you start hearing your drag go you know the fish is on. nearly every fish will be hooked right in the corner of the mouth.

    I really like them for catfishing. I don't think I will use anything else when it comes to catfishing.

    I've been using them for over a year now and honestly love them the only time they kinda aren't cool is when an 8" bullhead decides it wants to bulldog the bait... Which i've had 3 deep hooks this year that had to be cut, as for channels, carp, bass, walleye no problems at all with circles.  Then again I do have about 3 in each size clipped barbs that I haven't had any lost fish with either.
