One of the best hooks you can use is a 2/0 Gamakatsu Octopus Circle hook. The key to using those hooks is to remember to not set the hook and let him take it. Although, I think its more the rod than the hook. I have experimented a lot on this issue and found that when those pressured finicky fish hit and feel the least bit resistance they drop the bait. The best way to catch those fish is to set your drag as loose as you can as if you were going to let him spool you then tighten down and just reel it in.
