4/0 EWG Offset Worm Hook

Or a 3/0-4/0 straight shank round bend ;)

The absolute last thing I would say is: "use this size hook", it depends on the size of the bait, smaller baits = smaller hooks. I oftenly fish a "regular" T tig, 1/16 oz bullet weight with a 4 inch straight tail worm, which hook ? 1 or 1/0, still a "regular" Texas rig.

3/0 or 4/0 Round Bend offset is what I use. Gamakatsu preferably. VMC have worked for me too.

99% of the time I use a 3/0-4/0 EWG hook. I use a 3/8 oz weight for t-rigs.

Both of these. I like a 4/0 EWG offset Worm for craws and a 4/0 straight shank worm hook for my worms. I like Gammys for my offset hooks and Trokar for my worm hooks. You stick a fish with a Trokar and it comes in the boat.

The size of the plastic, influences the size of the hook. Bigger worms allow for bigger hooks, but in the case of a worm I feel bigger hooks take away from the action of the plastic. The rage craw is not quite the same as a worm, and there are many different size worms.

 

You can cover most applications with 1/0 to 5/0, 1/0 4" worms, 5/0 10" worms. But I would not advise to fish all your worms on the same size hook.

One of the reasons I like the Chigger Craw. It tells you right on the bag.

On a Rage Craw, Use a 4/0-5/0. I like the 5/0 Moaner Stick'R, which is a twist-lock hook. Same for the Lobster. 3/0 for the Baby Craw.
