    i use the Eagle claw 2004ELF 8/0. Decent priced hook that seems to get the job done. All circle hooks seem to be throw away after one use.

    i know some guys prefer the VMC, but i havent tried them

    I use Eagle Claw 2004 8/0 as well. I'm giving the Owner circles a test run this summer. Nothing's bit one yet.
    Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

    6/0 vmc is what we have been using. Might use the 7/0 vmc for the WMO.
