What kind of hooks do you guys prefer for your Zoom...

Baby Brush Hogs

Brush Hogs

6" Lizards

Magnum Lizards

Trick Worms

Thanks

I like Owner EWG 3/0, 4/0 or 5/0 for everything you listed except the baby brush hog........I would downsize the hook to a 1/0 or 2/0 EWG or so............ ;D ;D ;D

I use Gamakatsu 3/0 and 4/0 EWG's for 95% of all plastics I fish.

 I have only used the Brush Hogs and the Baby Brush Hogs (IMO the best creature baits around ). I have had really good luck using #2 EWG Gammi hooks on both...

                                           As Ever,

                                            Skillet

Mustad Big Mouth Tube hooks in 2/0, 3/0 and 4/0 take care of about 98% of my soft bait needs.  I use them for all types of plastics.  I tend to keep things rather basic.

I have been using the new Gamakatsu Skip Gap hooks for my plastics. I've been getting more mileage out of my plastics and the hooks hook up just as good as their other wide gaps.

What he said.

Owner Straight Shank Worm Hooks in appropriate size for the plastic bait.

i have switched to the Owner offset-wide gap worm hooks.  3/0, 4/0, and 5/0 for most all plastics.

i like fishin a big 4/0 or 5/0 for most of those but for the trick worms try a 3/0 offset worm hook. NO EWG'S!!

Baby Brush Hogs-Gamakatsu 2/0 EWG

Brush Hogs-Gamakatsu 4/0 EWG

6" Lizards-Gamakatsu 3/0 EWG

Magnum Lizards- Gamakatsu 4/0 EWG

Trick Worms-Gamakatsu 3/0 EWG

Owner Cutting Point 5/0 Wide Gap Plus goes great with any soft plastic.  The only time I will use a smaller hook is if I am fishing a tube or craw that is not long enough for the 5/0.

I like a 3/0 WG or EWG for thick baits like a Senko, but for everything else I will stick to a 2/0 WG.

Gamakatsu EWG 1/0 to 4/0 for 90% of my soft plastics, sometimes I will use jigs, rarely regular worm or ofset hooks (gamakatsu)

brush hogs-4/0 mustad wg needle point or bmf reaction innovation flippin hook

baby brush hog-3/0 wg mustad needle point

lizards 3/0 or 4/0 round bend offset, i use gammys or if i want a lighter hook ,eagle claw lazer sharp

trick worm -3/0 wg mustad needle point,or 3/0 round bend offset,depends on the rate of fall and what type cover im fishin in

finess-2/0 round bend offset,usually eagle claw lazer sharp,cause they are lighter wire

For Carolina rigging and weightless rigging, Gammy EWG hooks.

For Trigging in cover, a straight shank, round bend Gammy.

I HAVE NEVER EVEN TRIED TO PUT A HOOK IN MY ZOOM I THINK THAT WOULD REALLY HURT
