I'm looking for as much imput as possible. My thought was based on the assumption that the fish gets hooked before it actually swalllows the bait (with circle hooks). Knowing that taug hit quick with there lips i thought it might be a better approach. My thinking is that the circle hook does'nt need to be ingested? Someone please inform me as to the science of the circle hook, how it works? Is it on a first strike basis? Thanks for any imput |

WELL I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE SCIENCE.......BUT WHEN YOU COME TIGHT ON IT IT TURNS INTO THE CORNER OF A FISHES MOUTH AFTER THE FISH INJESTS THE BAIT......THE DELEMA WITH A TAUG IS THAT HE/SHE DOES NOT EAT THE WHOLE BAIT,......THEY SUCK THE MEAT OUT OF THE CRAB MOST OF THE TIME BEFORE YOU GET THE HOOK IN THEM.....I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT IS THE MAIN REASON WHY THE HOOK ENDS UP IN THEIR LIPS SO FREQUENTLY. JUST MY OPINION......YOU GOTTA BE FAST ON 'EM I KNOW THAT!! GOOD LUCK.

Taug with Circle hooks
I just got back from the Indian River Inlet yesterday. Used nothing but circle hooks. My hookup ratio was better with the circle hooks, but I did lose 2 big ones when they dove for the rocks. I think the circle hook gives them extra time to make a dive for it but I could be wrong. What line weight are you guys using on the rocks?

I like circles
I like fishing circle hooks for tog, I have found I don't like holding the rod all the time or sometimes I will fish multiple rods.
If I'm pouring a cup of coffee or reading the paper in the cabin, or taking a sheist...I just wait for the rod to bend over the gunnel then I casually stroll out and reel it in.  Use heavy guage hooks and line (80#). If I am fishing in heavy boulders different story...I hold my rod more and may not use circle hooks. The thing is getting them out of the rocks once you come tight. It may be too late if they made it back into their cave. And, I have lost some fish that way with circles and J hooks. I can't tell ya how many times I have got a nibble and go to set the hook and got nothin but water. The boys can get down right brutal on the critical side when that happens With a circle hook, there's no hook set and you can spare yourself some embarrassment.

I PERSONALLY HAVE NEVER MYSELF SEEN ANY ONE DEADSTICK A TAUG,......DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE......WHAT FUN IS THAT?
I CAN PERSONALLY SAY I SAW AT LEAST 18 TO 20 RIGS BROKE OFF ON SATURDAY'S CHARTER......WE CAUGHT LOTS OF TAUG. NICE FOLKS ON THE TRIP......DIDN'T WANT TO KILL ANY UNDER 18 INCHES WHICH I HAD TO APPLAUD THEM FOR THAT. THEY TOOK HOME A NICE MIXED BOX OF TAUG AND SEA BASS. NO CIRCLE HOOKS THAT I SAW.
