Hook size for Baby Paca Craws

Featured Replies

What size hooks do you rig a baby paca craw on? im planning on flipping these in early spring in the grass w/ a pegged 3/8 tungsten weight.

For general texas rigging and c-rig I use a 2/0 Ewg.

For flippping you will need a stronger hook.Use a 3/0 superline Gamakatsu or 3/0 owner Ewg plus hook.

Reason I mentioned the 2/0 first is because you get a lot better action on the bait with a t-rig or c-rig with the shorter shank and lighter wire.The bait flutters better. The 3/0 runs right to the very nose of the bait.Nothing wrong with it for flippin. If your using braid you will probably want something heavier like I mentioned before.Regular gauge 3/0 hooks such as gamakatsu or mustad will bend pretty easy when your yanking one out of the brush or grass.

I like a 3/0 EWG best.

You could use the 2/0 or 3/0 but I agree with Basin-fin. I would start out with the 2/0 for better action1
