circled hooks?

Most long range anglers fishing for big tuna out west use circle hooks - not for the release, but so that the tuna doesn't eat through the line. The corner hook set keeps the flouro / mono away from the teeth. I like setting the hook, so I miss using the J hook sometimes, but circles are killer on certain applications.
