I ordered a pack of 5/0 hooks and when I got them home I realized how thick the wire is and therefore they are pretty heavy…when should I use this hook?  It does not have a notch sticking out of it for holding a jig…it is the Bass Pro XPS Magna Superlock worm hook.  I also need a recommendation for a good hook when punching thick grass with Biffle Bug type baits.

Use it for big rods and heavy flurocarbon

Use them in heavy cover. A great place would be when you're punching, or when you're fishing the nasty stuff when you're really going to crank on them and you don't want any hook flex.

Your first question was answered, to answer your second. A good buddy of mine turned me to using Trokar flipping hooks. They are stout and incredibly sharp!!
