Might be worth a try to attempt fashioning your own mini circle-hook with a light-wire bluegill hook. ?? George G (may he RIP) gave me this same advice for when kids are fishing my pond and it worked great....but not perfect. I have not seen circle hooks smaller than 6 though. Try a very small circle hook. They're designed to be swallowed and slowly extracted as the line tightens. The hook-point turns just prior to exit and engages the interior corner of the fish's mouth. Never "set the hook" with circle hooks, or you'll simply yank them out of the fish's mouth. Simply let the line tighten and then apply a bit of "exaggerated resistance" to engage the hook-point.
