I use circles as the top hook on a 2 hook herring rig for fishing herring under a float for silvers off the beach, or kings and silvers motor mooching along the kelp beds. With the bait, the best hookups are when the fish turns away. If the bottom Octupus style doesn't stick, the circle gets them in the corner of the mouth. The circle hooks also holds the bait on a bit better.
Sounds pretty interesting. Any one else out there ever try rigging their herring leaders like this? He specifically said "motor mooching" for kings, but I wonder how well it would work on a steady troll.
