The circle hooks definitely work on catfish. Once they've hooked themselves it's almost impossible for them to get off the line. The only downside is that it is usually a pain in the rear to get the hook out of their mouth when you get them in the boat.

These are on limb lines tied to a tree on the bank and stretched out about 20 feet with 5 hooks per line. They are baited with live perch. I'm going to set them out again tonight with a bungee cord attached at the bank end so they can't get so much leverage when they stretch the line out.
