What hook size do you normally use for the beaver style baits, like the 4.25" wally craw from * or the sweet beaver.

I was thinking a 3/0 EWG gammy hook.

That's what I use

6/0 Gamakatsu Octopus hook, Gamakatsu #02416, or 5/0 Owner Mosquito hook.  Either one, snelled.  You can add a bait holder mad from shrink tube,

This is a family site.

I also use a 3/0 Gammy EWG. I have been using the super-line version since going to heavier line.

3/0 EWG for sweet beavers and 1/0 ewg for smallie beavers

Haha as soon as I typed it in the subject I thought the same thing.

I use a 4/0 straight shank flippin hook

I use a 4/0 BMF hook or a 4/0 straight shank owner for flipping. Hard to beat a straight shank for flipping heavy cover.

how could you possibly use a 6/0   :-/

must be some big beaver   ;D

I use a Gammie Wide Gap 4/0 or 5/0

My preference is the Mustad Denny Brauer Flipping Hook (straight shank) in the 3/0 size. But you can't go wrong with the Gamakatsu 3/0 EWG in either the regular or superline hook.
