The octopus hooks have been key for me in the past. My biggest failure though is trying to set the hook to hard. The circle hooks are designed to set themselves through pressure when you stop the free spool. Pull too hard to set the hook pulls it and the bunker potentially.

Anyone ever try a treble stinger or trailing hook? If we are after the hookup to put meat on the table, I would want to increase my chances the best way I could with an extra treble maybe loosely attached near the tail if you have circle hook right before or after the dorsal fin.
