What size hooks do you guys use for wacky rigging senkos?

Featured Replies

I'm going to be picking up some Gamakatsu finesse wide gap hooks to use primarily for wacky rigging senkos. I've heard recommendations for everywhere from size 2 to 4/0. If you had to pick only one size, which would y'all go? I think I'm going to try for 1/0, but I'd love people's opinions!

2/0

Some info in this, several posts down:

 

 

I’ve found 3/0 finesse wide gap to be effective

2/0 Gammy wide gap finesse

1/0 gammy wide gap finesse

I've been using Gamakatsu's Inline Circle hook size 1/0. I prefer the one with the turned up eye, which I snell onto the fluorocarbon leader. I've caught a lot of bass on that hook.

Owner 5172 size 1/0 for 5" and 2/0 for 6" & 7" w/o-rings.

Gammy 1/0 octopus hook is what we use.

I use the Gamakatsu Offset EWG 2/0 hook for both wacky and t-rigs.......A lot of times I'm using wacky rigged and get to areas that have a lot of weeds and just take the worm of and rehook it as a weightless t-rig, or vice-versa.

3/0 Gamakatsu Finesse Wide Gap. NO WEEDGUARD!!!

I like the Gammy 1/0 finesse w.g. weedless hooks.

Dens, i have done this as well just out of convenience or had to rig up quickly and found it works well.   i also like to texas rig until the end gets tore up, then wacky it to get more use out of my worms.   

1/0 OR 2/0, I use two O-rings that overlap each other, and where they cross (makes an X) place the hook underneath there and you don't even have to put the hook through the worm! Works great for me

Usually I use a 2/0 EWG hook. If I am fishing with a very skinny worm I will downsize to a 1/0 EWG.

Another vote for Gamakatsu Finesse Wide Gap in 2/0 ....
