what should I be using...?  I doubt my 4/0 EWG offset worm hooks are the ticket...they seem too big?

If you can't find those Owner hooks anywhere, I've had good luck with Mustad's demon circle hooks, you can buy these at any local Wal-Mart.  I'd probably recommend 5/0.  I'd still for sure go with owner hooks because Yamamoto designed those, so obviously they are the better choice.

I like the Falcon KY weedless whacky hooks.  Weightless or 1/8 pr 1/16.  They come in two different sizes, 3/0 seems to work the best for me.

Size 2/0

Owner Wacky/Drop Shot hook.  Size:  #1

For Senkos, I use a 4/0 #01414 or 5/0 #02415 Gammy Octopus hook.

For Trick worms I use s 3/0 #02413 Gammy Octopus hook.

For finesse worms, I use a 2/0 #02412 Gammy Octopus hook or a 2/0 Owner Mosquito hook.

I really like those owner hooks. I have them in weedless also. Size all depends on what worm your using. I fish a 5in senko on a 2/0 but a 3in on a #1-#2.

why not?

thats what i use and i have noooooooo problems whatsoever. i never could understand why people feel the need to use a different hook for wacky rigging.

i also like the Mustad weedless wacky from Cabelas.  $2.89 for 5 and they hold up and stay sharp after many fish

Any good weedless hook works for me. I had a problem finding exactly what I wanted a couple of years ago (I hate paying shipping) and made some from a Gammy Bass Bug Stinger hook, the B10S. Since I tie flies I already hard a 100-pack of them.

That works, too. ;D
