| What size circle hooks are people using for rigging 12-14" suckers? |
|

| I wouldn't suggest it.
Go with a quick strike rigs. Circle hooks have been proven to gut hook or throat hook muskies.
Not the best idea. |

Location: Waukesha & Land O Lakes, WI | 2/0, 3/0 and 4/0 Gamakatsu circles or Mustad Demon circles, especially red if you can find them. You should be sure to take any offset out of the shank of the hooks. Straight is best.

Cite your source, please.

| source: Gander Mountain Guide telling us all he had 2 gut hooked with circle hooks.
Is that enough proof? |

| I tried circle hooks. I caught one fish. Hooked in the throat, bled like a stuck pig, took forever to unhook, probably dead. Once was enough.
