It wouldn't bother me to see a law passed on circle hooks. Fishing in the keys all you can use by law on the gulf side is circle hooks. I use circle hooks on the atlantic side as well simply because I don't feel like keep retting hooks and when on a drift fishing the bridges from east to west once you drift under bridge and have a I hook on you are in violation. When fishing offshore tournament if the lure has meat on it the lure must be rigged with a circle hook. Believe me once you learn what hook to use in a particular situation they will grow on you.
