hey. i have a question regarding hook size. actually, 2 questions...

for 5-6" senkos and worms, which hook size do you use??

and, which is bigger, the 4/0, ot 5/0??

when i bought my equipment, i asked a friend to help me since i didnt know what to get... so, he got me 3 packs of hooks, and he told me they were 4/0, 5/0 and 6/0, but i dont know which is which.... i have been using the smaller of the 3 almost exclusively for my 5# and 6" worms, i recently got some 7" and use the medium sized hooks i have.. but im not sure about the size they are....

im thinking this is something like the wire gauge, a 12 ga is bigger than a 18 ga, however, after they reach 0, a 2/0 is smaller than a 3/0.... is that right??

i am needing some more of the smaller size, so i want to know if they are 4/0, and if they are the most appropriate for 5-6" worms and senkos.

This is how hook size works:

Small to large: 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-1/0-2/0-3/0-4/0-5/0-6/0-7/0-8/0

5" Senko = 4/0 EWG Offset Worm Hook

This is how hook size works:

Small to large: 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-1/0-2/0-3/0-4/0-5/0-6/0-7/0-8/0

5" Senko = 4/0 EWG Offset Worm Hook

thank you!!

You can fish most soft plastics on a 3/0 or 4/0 hook. Personally, I like the Gamagatsu EWG hooks for most plastics like beavers, senkos, flukes, etc...

I've used 2/0 in the past but my preference is 4/0 for both worms and flukes. I personally have gotten away from EWG, I seem to be enjoying my success with an ordinary 4/0 worm hook for both kinds of baits.
