Thought I would give my insight into the application of circle hooks and why I think the are better when used the right way. Many fishermen across the globe im sure were frustrated with circle hooks at first. I myself was resistant. Until i realized I was using the circle hook incorrectly. Once i figured it out my hook ups increased and im sure the mortality rate went down. No more gut hooks. so are circle hooks better. the short answer is yes but enjoy my video. circle hooks are great for all applications, i personally love them for striper fishing. #circlehooks#circlehooksarebetter
