you won't find em at bass pro, but go with the trebles, Sackless was using the circles and was losing fish left and right, he changed his hooks right on the ice, gamagatzu trebles.

Paq is actually telling the truth for once.  I had 2 circles at the begining of the season.  Now all trebbles.  That goes with everything in life would you rather have 3 or 1. :thumbsup:

That's what I'm hoping for! :)

I'm using the smallest steel leaders I have and the snaps are pretty low profile as well.
