They work well for live bait. Tie them on snelled style to maximize hook-ups and they do a good job of grabbing the corner of the fishes mouth. I use a size bigger than I normally do. Uusally use 6 or 8 for leaches and so use 4 or 6 in the circles. The toughest thing is resisting the temptation to set the hook. Just reel it up tight until you feel the fish and then start retrieving it - should do it... try them out and see how they work for you. Chuckles
