Eagle Claw makes a circle hook sabiki that I like a lot. Easy to get them off the hook.

You can catch Anchovies on the Sabiki, but they can be finicky. Choose the small ones without the plastic beads in size 12 or 14. Just like other fish and lure combos, presentation can make the difference between not getting hit and having a great day. Jigging straight up and down, casting out with a small weight for a slow sink and dragging your sabiki are just a few methods you can try for all baitfish.

If you are looking for Squid, use a Squid gangion with a weighted Squid jig on the end. If there are a lot of Pacific Mackerel around, then use a sinker instead of the jig on the end.
