Randy use tru turn 3/0 hooks on my rod and reels. also use them on my fishing noodles or jugs. they hook and hold real well. my uncle uses circle hooks quite often and likes them,but like every one has said you have to let the hook do the work because if you try to set it you will pull the hook out of their mouths more often than not.
