My wife always fishes bait and we are trying to change her to a good circle hook.

gammy 7 or 8/0 look no further

The shape of the TARGET SNAPPER HOOK allows positive penetration through the toughest parts of a snappers mouth even when used on long lines.

Nickel Teflon coated Target Snapper Hooks are the best shaped snapper hook.

New Trokar hooks look wicked, have an awesome point

Youvella mutsu and Gamy circles both get my vote 

Hey Lethal, just took a look at the site you offered up.

Good advice Hunter, recurves do need to be used properly to work well. A couple of other points (unintentional pun there...) - don't strike the bites as hkt-up mentioned just lift the rod and wind in one motion when you think the time is right and tie the hooks by putting the trace through from the point side of the hook. Snelling or dropper loops are the best way to attach circles IMO.

lethal i like the hooks but to thick gauge for my needs. even saw this on his site

those look great lethal will be ordering some for moki, thanks!..... i use yeovella mustu's for most fish  ...owner k's and mustad demons for moki. strong hooks are essential for moki.

Most circles/recurves will do the job no problem.
Black Magic KL's are usually my goto 6/0 up... But these day's I'm using a few diff types, one brand on bottom another on the 2nd loop of a ledger, then swap around

Those that say this is better than other's have you really given other type's a really good test?
I get a few hooks come thru to test out..

Sakura's still testing em so far there working well..... only cause last few trips been canned.. have had these awhile though, nice strong hook

Trokar is also one am testing....price will put most off, over $2 per hook

as mentioned put hook thru bait max twice.....  even though after lot's & lot's of years fishing the urge to not strike & just lift is bloody hard. Usually have your rod pointed to the water so you can lift.
Mistake most make is strike to early, you feel the tap tap tap strike & miss, what you want is to wait for the pull.... lift & booya should be in...

Things I look for in a good hook:
Durability - will last the whole day
Point penetration,  point wont break off after a couple of fish, hook set
Strength, not going to straighten or bend easily
even colour can make a diff...
gauge too thick or thin...
Shape ...

Some days you just can't hook a fish for whatever reason using your fav hook, change to a diff one,
Recurves not working goto a suicide...

Those not working!!!  time for a cuppa & lunch...cause by now your at the you mutha.....
So have a break & rethink a new approach...
