Do circle hooks work with dip tubes/worms

That is all I use for my Dip tubes. They ones I have didn't come with circle hooks but I always replace the hooks with circle hooks. Never had any problems with them.

I like the Mini Furry Thang threaded on a 5/0 Team Catfish Hook. Yes they work fine.

i use circle hooks with the dip tubes as well..... but i cut the tubes into 2-3 pieces and thread the pieces on to the hook and it seems to be more of a morsal than a long tube seems like big or small the fish hook up a little more consistant than when i use the whole tube just my opinion though no solid proof...good luck hope this helps

The circle hooks work better than the treble hooks do.. The fish always swallow the treble hook. Its ether killed the fish or cut the line, Chances are ether way its still gonna die.

I don't use them but it will work great the way they hit sonny's and secret 7. Just depends of preference

OK, but how do you rig the tubes on a circle hook? I have heard that you shouldn't have anything between the tip of the hook and the shank like in number 2. I included a pic because its hard to explain. So should I rig like #1 or #2?
Thanks

I believe it would be #2.

The team catfish double action hooks work great with dip tubes dipped in secret 7 but I wouldn't rig it either way that you have shown. either way will cause you to lose a lot of fish. Cut the dip tube in 3 equal pieces and then hook them 1 at a time from the side. 1 to 2 pieces is plenty for up to a 5/0 hook but you can use all 3 pieces on an 8/0.
