The purpose of the circle hook was for offshore fishing so there wasn't ad many gut hooks. It became a law in the Gulf of Mexico if you were in certain areas that was the only hook you could use.

It depends on what type you buy. If it is the J styled hook with a 90 degree bend right by the eye of the hook (where you tie your line too) then yes, but if otherwise than no. The best hooks for this type of fishing are small circle hooks since they lodge in the side of the fishes mouth and make it easier to pull in.

What hooks the fish?

There are two main types of hook - the J hook and the circle hook. J hooks are used by directly driving the hook through the bait and into the fish with a strong upward tug. The hook can end up anywhere from the stomach of the fish to the jaw or be snagged on the exterior of the fish. Circle hooks are swallowed by the fish and are set by winding the line tight. The shape of the hook causes the point to swing around the jaw. Typically, 95% of the hook sets are in the fish's jaw. This allows the fish to be released relatively unharmed. Circle hooks are used very successfully in deep water fishing.


If a fish breaks a fishing line will the hook stay in the fishs mouth?

Depends, If the hook goes down the throat into the belly the fish is as good as dead. If the hook is in the hard tissues around the opening of the mouth there is a very good chance he will shake it free.
