Straight Shank Hook (With Barb). Which To Use?

Featured Replies

I've mostly used off-set worm hooks for fishing my worms and flukes (even some creature baits).   I'm wanting to start using straight shank hooks (as I read hook up % are much better).

 

Recommended hooks?

 

As of now I'm thinking of getting the Roboworm Rebarb Hooks  )

 

Also size wise would a 3/0 be good enough for 7 - 10 inch worms  or would 4/0 be better?

 

 

Thanks!

If you are going with a straight shank make sure it has a round bend.

Hook size it determinded by the diameter of the plastic not length.

I like the gamakatsu straight shanks, I get them from academy sports & outdoors.

I love the roboworm re-barb hooks.  If you are only going to get one size I would go for the 4/0, which would let you rig up larger stickbaits and will still work for thinner worms.
