Any suggestoins for a hook size for (EWG and Straight Shank) 3" and 4" Pit boss/Beaver Style baits and for 6-7" worms (Off set worm). Going to work on getting better with T-Rigs next year.

For Pit Bosses I only use EWG. 3" get 3/0 4" get 4/0

 

7" worms 2/0 or 3/0 offset.

Awesome, thats what I was leaning too. I hardly ever throw T-Rigs, I want to get better with the T-Rig next year.

Just another tip, with Texas rigs I will go with the lowest possible bullet weight I can get away with.

Same here if we are talking worms like the Zoom Trick Worm or Culprit ribbon tail.

 

7" worms 2/0 or 3/0 offset.

3/0 for a ribbon tail, curly tail, or 7 inch roboworm; 6/0 for a 7 inch senko though.

Ya, 6" T-Macs mostly for my worms.

4/o ewg for everything over 4" and under 8"

And for worms you dont need any bullet weight at all. Go weightless

I don't like using EWG for thin plastics, I feel that the hook gets in the way sometimes and takes away from the action. 

I like how some of you are saying I use a X/0 for so and so inch bait.... It really only matters how thick the bait is.

You most definitely can need a bullet weight in most cases! Try fishing a weightless trick worm for bass holding on cover 20ft deep!

I never find that. What hooks do you use?

Weightless action is top notch though. Bullet weight changes it

 It's just a preference of mine. Since there really isn't much plastic to go through, the EWG isn't really needed.

Same here, I also fish tons of grass and EWG don't come through nearly as good as normal worm hooks or straight shanks.

I find it to have better hook ups for me, i guess its just what i am used to.

I use a 4/0 EWG for the 4" Pit Boss. 

 

For the Pit Boss Jr I use these guys,

 

1/8oz or 3/16oz head with a 2/0 Owner wide gap short shank Rig N' hook. The hinged head action every time I twitch the bait makes one of the best, jerky swimming crawfish movements I've ever seen in a bait. It was a killer rig for me this year when the going got tough. 

Ya never ever select hook size based on length!

Ya always select hook size based on thickness!

7" worms but how thick? Ya talking a Trick Worm size or Senko size?
