Long shank circle hooks - Pier and Surf Forum
2009年10月3日 · A circle hook jig really seems pretty pointless. The long shank circle I could see on a fly maybe, but as was stated before, it seems it would nullify the effects of the circle hook. That picture of the long shank circle doesn't look much like a real circle anyway though. The point isn't angled toward the shank as much as a normal circle.

Hook size and type for surf fishing | Pier and Surf Forum
2018年5月15日 · I think we'll be mostly targeting mullet, spot and other smaller fish in close. I'll be sure to keep my hook sizes appropriate for my double bottom rigs for those types of fish and the accompanying bait. For cut bait I have 4/0 - 6/0 in both kahle and circle. I like the kahle for large channel and flathead catfish.
How do you set the hook on a circle hook? | Ohio Game Fishing
2005年8月16日 · The only thing I have been able to reliably catch on circle hooks is soft shell turtles. Hold the rod at least 45 degrees to the vertical and also off to the side. This will help pull the hook into the corner of the mouth, much like setting the hook with a flyrod. my buddy and i only use circle now in days.

Depending on the hook size, I use either a small electronics vise or my fly tying vise to hold the hook while sharpening. I use a small fine file. Like catfish said, three outsides with the point first on the stroke.
Kahle vs. circle hooks - Pier and Surf Forum
