Never thought of that before but it makes good sense. Maybe if the circle hook is on a spoon or something, to buy you another inch or two of safety? Seems like it could be a good setup when you're after both pike and another large but less bold fish, trout perhaps? I guess there's always the risk that the pike will bite it off at first strike before the hook is set, but a far smaller risk.

Now the next question is, why are circle hooks so rarely spotted in the tackle aisle??
