Do you have an issue with them swallowing the hook (deep hooking) or does a mosquito hook function more like a circle hook?

No more than any other hook. I like the small profile, especially with grass shrimp. I despise circle hooks.

I don’t like circle hooks either, except for with limb lines for huge Flathead Catfish. I tried them trout fishing with bait about a decade ago but it is hard not to set the hook. I’ll look into those mosquito hooks. Thanks.
