What hook size for Fat Ika--4"

Featured Replies

Just bought some the other day.  They are the 4" version.  I was fishing them with a 4/0 Gammy EWG hook, but initally missed several fish.  After I hooked the first one the hooksets seemed easier and I didn't miss anymore.  However, I think this was contributed to a bigger hole in the bait due to the hooksets--thus my hookup ratio went up.  Anyway, am I using the right size hook or should I switch to a 5/0 hook?  Also, I am T-riggin it, pushing the hook all the way through where it lies flat against the bait...is this right or wrong?

You are using the right hook and the right technique. We all miss a few so keep trying.
