I used large circle hooks the other day to land a spurdog and conger both lip hooked. The skipper on the boat also uses them for blues and porbeagle sharks which he said are always lip hooked too as stevecrow74 and mga can verify :wink: The circle hooks he has are the same ones used on long lines by commercial tuna boats.
