I'm a bit concerned about the potential for hooking smaller bass (2lbers) in the eyes with the large hooks it appears these larger (6-1/2") baits are going to require.

Anyone have any experience with these baits? What hook size are you using? Is the 7/0 really required? Can it reach too deep and puncture the eyes on smaller bass?
