Haven't had the opportunity to try them out yet.

Circles should be OK...I think most peeps use them...I do for swordys, not that that makes any difference...my $0.02

The Comm's use them. When the circle hook's in the corner of the mouth you can lift the fish easier , they stay buttoned better due to the hook turning back on it's self , and there is less chaffing . I prefer Squid with circles .

Personally I dont like em, but thats just me.

Steve, I have a half dozen of the hooks I use. Pretty sure you have seen them. Will be making rigs up over the summer, the rigs are yours if you prefer to use them instead of what ya bought.

But fishing in nj, is nothing like fishing in california. There will never be a nj long range fleet, what would we fish for? go offshore, catch yellowfin, longfin, swords at night, mahi and tiles during the day, come inshore and catch some cod and pollock, then inshore for some seabass, finish it off with a little fluking at the rocks and then some blackfishing in 35ft off long branch? lol just breaking ballz guys..

Sounds like a dream trip for me. The only issue is were are we going to keep all the tackle. I would probably need to rent a uhaul to have room for the 6-8 rods, 4 coolers, huge tackle box, portable live well, gear bag, food, drinks, hookers etc... I would look to catch both an inshore and offshore grand slam plus whatever other bycatch comes up.

Capt. Bob should put some type of agenda up so we know what to bring etc. Swords, tile , tuna, mahi etc??? Troll, jig chunk??? Food??? I would be willing to donate 25- 16oz strip steaks if some others would cook and donated the sides etc????? Salad, Bakers vegetables rolls etc Let me know???
