Often, I throw a worm and a bobber without targeting anything specific.  In the lakes that I hit, this is what I could land with the setup:

 

Bluegill

Crappie

Largemouth Bass

Pickerel

Pumpkinseed Sunfish

Smallmouth Bass

Yellow Perch

 

I've had success with both #4 and #6 hooks, but there have been days when I've had a hard time setting the hook and am wondering if my setup and not my technique was to blame.  In these situations, is it better to use a #4, or #6 hook?

#4 circle 

#4 Gamakatsu EWG hooks are my main split shotting hooks.   Love them.

Thanks,

 

I had been using #4 circle hooks with Senkos and various creature baits.  I'll try them with live worms when I next hit the lake. Praying I'll be allowed to leave NYC on May 2nd, and my hotel and lake will be open and welcome me.

Prayers with everyone out there, man. Things are ugly.

I always though the smaller the better - or so I remember reading Lunker Love Nightcrawlers. I use #8 and #10 Mustad 3261 with split shotting. Never seen the reason to go any more than that.

 

Was never a fan of giant hooks just cause the fish gets bigger.
