What Hooks/line For 7 Inch Sk Ochos?

Featured Replies

What hooks/line/Rod for 7 inch SK Ochos? And what size fish do you guys catch on the 7" compared to other sizes? Do you fish them with spinning gear?

I use a 7'1" St Croix Rage casting rod w/a Quantum HPT reel spooled w/10-12lb green power pro tied to an 8"-15" 12lb flouro leader. I use a swivel to join the two but you can also use a uni to uni knot. I prefer the swivel, lazer & tsunami make some really small very strong swivels. I use this combo for 4"-7" wieghtless Senkos & Ochos, 4-5" get 3/0 Trokar EWG's, over 5" gets 4/0-5/0 Magworm Trokars. I feel that using casting gear gives me more sensitivity & more control over the bait.

When I fish them wacky rigged I use a 7' medium action spinning rod on 10lb mono. When i fish them texas rigged I use a 1/8 oz. bullet weight on a 6'6" medium baitcaster with 12 lb fluoro.

I only use the 5" models but catch all size fish with them. I caught a few this last weekend that made you wonder what the fish was thinking when it ate it!!!!
