I like the Matzuo sickle octopus for that. You still set the hook, but they're easier to get out if they get it a little deep.

When fishing with minnows, we catch about 60% perch with a high % swallowing the hook. Has anyone tried circle hooks with minnows and had fewer hooks in the throats of their catch?

I use them all the time. Perch hardly ever swallow them and crappie do every well on them. Been using them a couple of years now.![]()
I use them often and have no problem with them.
Are you snelling the octopus hooks?
