I disagree, I do not use circle hooks for C&R. I'm intrested in what gets the job done. To me the most important of the study is the way circle hooks are put on the line. Passing the line through the eye vs. tying directly to it makes a hugh difference in catch rate, as long as you put it through the right way. This is why I said a snelled hook works like a hook on a dropper loop, very effective. Notice there is very little difference for the J hook. Circle hooks were made for long lines not anglers, so the studies total catch numbers should not be suprising.
For certain methods of fishing its hard to beat them.
