Circle hooks for tuna jigs?

Fishing solo for tuna is fun but losing a fish that comes unbuttoned while dealing with another hookup and clearing a third line isn't. I drop down to 2 trollers after the first hookup.

I'm wondering if anyone has tried using circle hooks on jigs such as jetheads or feathers. I'm sure they won't work on a cedar plug but I can always grab that one first.

I have heard of them being used for C&R Marlin but not sure if that is on pitched bait or trollers.

Bait only.

You'll miss a sheet load of strikes.

You have to feed them to make the circles work.

Tighter drags and keep the boat in gear.

I used to slay them solo.
