circle hooks excel with bait. not lures. lures hook fish on the first strike, bill fish dont inhale a trolled lure or bait. they swat at it and usually get hooked on the lower bill. now swordfish tournaments that are all nighters and people fishing baits down deep while anchored, they should work well, but not trolling.
also they suck for sturgeon, batrays and carp and im sure other fish with similar mouth. i use them for shark, yellowtail and seabass and never had a problem.
