I fish either a Gamakatsu or XPoint 4/0 EWG Offset Worm Hook.

It depends on the application?

Drop Shot

Carolina Rig

Split Shot

Texas Rig

Weightless

Jigging

shakey head

There is a different "best/favorite" hook for every tactic.

I rarely fish worms that big around here, shakey head and drop shot are pretty big up here in the northwest.  Some guys on here will chime in and tell you what they are using.

I prefer Gammie EWG but this is mostly on weightless weedless trickworms and senkos.

I prefer a 4 or 5/0 Gammie EWG most of the time.

I use owner for just about any application I could use one on.

I use Gamakatsu EWG's exclusively.

I use the BPS EWG hooks in 2/0, 3/0, and 4/0 sizes.

4/0 Owner. Just a thicker wired hook. I have straightened out gammies but you will never straighten an Owner.

mostly Gamma EWG 5/0.  If I can find them I will buy Owner 5/0 rig-n-hook.  sucker is sharp!

I go with Owner.

Pick up a Gammy EWG and play with it and bend it and such. A little too flexable for my liking, I wouldn't feel comfortable with a big fish on that hook.  :-?

The Gamakatsu EWGs are one of my favorite hooks but I prefer to use a hook with a smaller gap on a thin ribbon tail worm, like the 7" Power Worms, for example. I like the 4/0 Gamakatsu Offset Round Bend Worm Hooks. I currently have the 4/0 Sugoi hook tied on to my jig & worm rods since I was using other soft plastics so I may give them a try before I switch over to the Offset Round Bends.

For a standard 7.5'' worm, I'd go with an offset 4/0.  I only use EWG when the worm is very thick and I have to.  My tackle box is starting to flood with Owner hooks.
