Circle hooks?

[BPman]

Can anyone advise me where to buy circle hooks in Calgary? WSS has only really small ones and Bass Pro and Fishin' Hole don't have them. I want #1 or #1/0 for smelts on my tip-ups to minimize deep-throat damage to pike and burbots... Can anyone share their experience on using them for smelt rigs for pike?
Thx.

On some rare occasions, where I have used bait, the circle hooks definitely prevented deep hooking.

I used a 8" herring on a 8/0 circle hook for some big girls.

I replaced all my hooks on my lures that I use for trolling. Love them, especially using the downrigger, seems to get the hook set a little better off the rigger and have lost less fish than using the traditional barbless.

I have got mine at Fish Tales, he used to have 6 or 8 to 4/0. I tie my streamers and larger wooly buggers, leeches on them. Worked well for me over the years.

Cabella's has some. Go 5/0 on your still lines for ice fishing, and on your plugs for trolling. Secret is face one hook one direction, and the other in the opposite direction. Plug will now be balanced and run true. I bet over 1000 walleye and pike at Calling would agree, as they have been C & R ed with ease over the last 10 summers.

Thanks, guys. Cabala's has a great selection on line but Edmonton is a long ways away for me. Fish Tales does have a good selection and I got what I needed there today.
thx everyone.
