What have you got to say about the topic of: "Fluke And Circle Hooks". Here's how is started: "Circle hooks are fine, just fished a bit differently. I personally prefer an Octopus hook."

| Fluke and togs are the only two I dont use circles for. Other than those I love circles.

I find on tog they work well , just lift and reel. The hardest for me is not setting the hook. We use gamagatsu 2/0. Have used 3/0 and 4/0 but prefer the smaller hooks. I'm not sure that a fluke facing the boat, while you're drifting would hook up well, unless it turns away from the boat. I'd expect a lot of times the hook would pull straight out. I haven't tried it so not sure. With this year's size limits on fluke being even more rediculous than last seasons, there should be plenty of time to experiment.
