So I've used circle hooks and recently posted about catching bigger cats and got some advice. The advice was to use 6/0 or greater circle hooks, went to Wal-Mart to get some and they didn't have any so I ended up buying 7/0 Kahle hooks because they were the closest thing to a circle hook at that store.

My question is: What are yalls opinions on the two types of hooks??

multiple rods and cats grabbing and turning with a circle hook cant be beat.
Even eater cats can grab them. Being I grew up setting the hook the others will work.
everything has a time and place, trial by error or easier to ask on the Enet like your doing.
that being said I have one hook in my Box #8 Mustad.(circle)

I've bought other hooks in the past out of a lack of options, as you just did. Others will work but circle hooks are the best. I would suggest planning ahead and either buying online or taking the time to go to a store that has what you need. Never rely on walmart

Listen to Loco...he is a red neck sob but knows his stuff..he helped me tremendously in the spring targeting shallow blues...I use #8 team catfish double action circle in red..I also use #7 diechi circle chunk light in red, and mustad octopus circle #8...I like the offset eye on mustad and owner #8 so I can snell knot my hooks better...I catch half pound blues on those big ol hooks...buy them on the Internet and get them in the large quantity boxes...u r going to need a bunch!

I get mine online from bottom dwellers

you guys are awesome thanks for all the advice im so glad that ive started using TFF

Setting rods in rod holders, circles all day. I like the TC Double Action or Daiichi Circle for cut bait. I like Gamakatsu Oct Circle for live bait. Between 3/0-8/0 dependent of my bait size and the presentation. Punch bait #6 treble. #4 in some cases. If I am holding the rod or not relying on a fish to set the hook itself, I like either a Khale, Eagle Claw 84 or 42. Also size matches bait.
