Hook size?

Featured Replies

I'm sure this has been asked a hundred times, but I'm starting to wonder if what i use is too big?

What size and type hooks do you guys use for your plastics?

Most interested in your input on 6-8" lizards, 7-10" finesse worms, 10" power worms...

Thanks all for the input!

I like the 3/0 EWG hooks for anything up to about 8".  Above that, 4/0 or 5/0 EWG depending on the bulk of the bait.  This is for soft plastic worm and lizard type baits and not the hollow soft plastic swim baits.

I use regular offset for everything but the bulky worms and the swimbaits that you rig yourself. For sizes I go with 2 or 3 /0 for 6in and under and 4 or 5 for evrything else, depending on what part of the bait the most action comes from.

4/0 EWG Offset Worm Hooks for almost everything.

(3/0 EWG for 3 1/2" tubes)

DON"T skimp on hooks, save money somewhere else.

I use Gamakatsu oe XPoint. Owners are also highly recommended

by many of our members.
