Owner released a similar hook in the UK in smaller sizes that I played with for a while barbel fishing so using a hair rig.

 

Stopped using them after the 3rd fish when the hook had somehow worked it's way through the lip twice. Sorry but once is enough and if you lost a fish with any line then tethering is a possibility.

Cheers

Interesting Andy. Love to know if that is a problem specific to barbel or possibly just to sucker mouth fish.

 

I've used lots of circle hooks and caught right many fish on them and not seen that happen but it could be down to a difference in the way various species bite.

 

I know they behave well on perch and bass and catfish but all of those have a bony ridge at the mouth. Haven't caught enough carp on them to form an opinion and carp is about the only fish with that mouth type I'm likely to catch.
