What size of circle hook should I use for walleyes?
Also, if I am trolling with bottom bouncers or lindy rigs with rods in the rod holders, would circle hooks work better than normal hooks? My theory is that you may have better hook-ups since circle hooks set themselves with steady line tension (rods are in the rod holders) rather than normal hooks which are better suited with setting the hook. What do you think? Thanks.

Cabelas in Mitchell, SD has two hook spinner rigs (last year, anyway) using #4 for the front hook and #6 for the rear hook. They had them on display at the store, but I could not find them online. They work well for me with bottom bouncers & crawlers. I hope they have more of them this year.
