Though it was like pulling teeth to get anyone to agree, I managed to deploy a circle out in the trolling spread a couple of times this past year. Most of the time, if someone didn't get bit within a short period of time, they wanted to immediately switch back to std rigging. Oh ye of little faith! When someone was willing to commit (usually off-bite off-prime off-tide time of the fishing day), good things were bound to happen.

Rigged ala Moffitt as a hangback trailer on both whole and plug-cut herring, the boat scored two bites and landed both fish.... both coho, and both hooked outside in.
