Like everyone is saying its best to match hooks size and diameter to the bait and equipment your using. Having said that a 3/0 EWG Gamakatsu will cover a lot of baits(4-6 inches) so if you can find a the big pack(25 count) and buy a few standard size packs(3-6 count depending on size and company) of 2/0 and 4/0. That should cover you for EWG hooks... There are very few blood vessels in the mouth of a bass so if your seeing blood that's not a good sign for the fish. If you don't use braid you may want to think about trying it. It floats and you can get a bright color so you can actually use the line like a bobber. It will jump or start moving away when a fish eats your bait. It would be a good idea to put a leader of fluorocarbon on it so the fish wont see the braid as easy. Look up a uni uni or alberto knot to connect your mainline to your leader. It also may a good idea to smash your barbs with pliers to minimize the damage from removing the hook.
