Hi there James! You are exactly right! No hook on the front (toward the head) of the bait. Crankbaits are going to be considered a big meal for a gill and from my expeirences 98% of the time they are caught by the rear hook. I like circle hooks because they require virtualy no hook set and the hook lands in the corner of the mouth all the time! Good luck, friend!

Hi Patrick,<br />
<br />
Normally, crankbaits come with 2 treble hooks, one on front and the other on the tail.<br />
So, do I need to remove all of them and place one circle hook on the tail side only leaving front of the body without a hook?<br />
<br />
I have noticed that Bill "Musky" Mod recommended size 6 O'Shaughney hook wiht long shank on the spoons. Do you think it would work well also on the cranks or do you have any particular reason to use Mosquito circle hooks?<br />

John, I like Owner's Mosquito circle hooks size 10. Gamagaktzu makes the Octopus circle hook as well. It takes some finessing to get them on. It is easier to get smaller split rings, thread the hook on the ring, and then thread the ring on the crankbait.
