I use Eagle Claw Lite in size 6 or 8, Browns and Rainbows will hook in the side of the mouth about 75% of the time. Splake, and Brooks swallow the hook 90% of the time. I find that the hook rate is a little lower than with regular hooks.
One of the secrets to using these hooks is to just pull your line tight instead of trying to set the hook.
If nothing else is working I have used a ball of power bait molded to the circle hook in a hook shape with maybe 1/4" around the hook. It seems to work fine.
