circle hook for tip-ups
« on: Feb 16, 2008, 06:21 PM »
Anyone use a circle hook?  I used them for drum down south and was amazed how well they work.  No belly hooks.  Every one in the corner of th mouth.  Figured this would work for burbot on tip-ups.

They do work for burbot real well, but I'm not a fan of them for bony mouthed fish like pike.

they work great for all kinds of fish if you have the right size, i found some #12 ones last summer and i caught a bunch of bluegill on 'em all in the corner of the mouth. they work great.
