What size hook for these things?

They give you a 5/0 on tv

I think they do give you a 5/0 long shank hook.Although I haven't used these snakes I've seen them and I would imagine that a 7/0 Owner offset worm hook would be a pretty good fit.

Yeah you got these in the flea market right I almost bought them

I was wanting some but the $40 starting price from his website is a bit steep to just try them out (for 18 snakes, $2.38 ea with S&H costs).

The $15 price for 3 snakes on ebay ($10 + 5 shipping for $3 ea) is a bit steep too... so I have an order I am waiting on where I got a 3 pack of topwater "snakelike" soft lures for $4 and free shipping.

but to answer the original question, I would stay in the 5/0 range. Too much bigger and the weight may start pulling it underwater or affect the performance.

Got em at dicks ,but as you know everything is hit or miss there and that store picked clean >

I suspect you will catch just as many fish

without a hook. Other than people with some

affiliation to the company, I have never heard

anyone reporting that they have caught a bass

on the snake.

NICE!! Well, I guess that saves my $$ and wondering if I catch anything with 'em.

;D I have seen fish hit various stuff on the top of the water here in FL so I know dragonflies, small snakes, little lizards and frogs/toads do get them to bite. I have even seen a mayfly swarm just above the water have a bass jump out and right into the swarm...

Even in my limited fishing experience, I've seen a snake get taken by a smallie. I think i have a spot where this bait will kill, tons of snakes, tons of smallies.

I thought snake threads get nuked like Banjo Minnow or Kicktail usually?

did you buy the full pack from his website or the 3 pack from ebay?

Josh, I caught a nice smallie one time that had been following a snake around. The only reason I saw it was because the snake came near me and I jumped up onto a rock. I tossed a bait down and bam! Fish on.

did you buy the full pack from his website or the 3 pack from ebay?

Neither. Bought a lot of baits from a guy here, two snakes were included in the lot.

Dan, the spot at the rapidan (downstream, saw 5 on one trip, same vicinity), and a spot I frequent on the Rapp has a ton of snakes in the summer. This should work for me.

That is still the case. I saw New Angler's

purchase and let him ask about the hook.

It should have ended there, but rather than

editing, lets just end it here.

Goodnight Irene.
