3/0 or 4/0 offset shank worm hook.  For a bulkier bait I use an EWG hook..  I wacky rig on a 1/0 Tru-Turn hook.

Weigtless on 3/0 or 4/0 EWG or Round Bend Gammy hooks.

Wacky rigged with an Oring.  I like the Reaction Innovations Wacky Hook and Owner Mosquito Hook.

I also love to use a screw in weight and a straight shank 4/0 round bend Gammy.  They fall like tubes rigged this way.   ;D

I fish 6" Senkos and prefer the Gamakatsu #5/0 round bend. The shank runs parallel to the worm and is more "weedless" than the EWG.

It is more about "hook set" and I used the Gamakatsu 3/0 with 5" senkos for quite a while. Now I use a 5/0 EWG with 5" senkos

Try it!...You will hook more fish.

Big EWG hooks with senkos, and even bigger with toads.

Not stupid, well just a little.....hehe

You hook it right in the middle of the worm and then to fish it....lift your pole every so often..

I highly recommend not using wide gap hooks for senkos.  I personally have had a very low hook-up rate.  Take one day I went out, I had 6 bass hit, and managed to hook up with four of those, and of those four, I caught one.

I have been fishing Senkos since 1997 or 98 with 4/0 & 5/0 EWG hooks. When I get a bite, I rarely miss a fish.

although i rarely miss fish with the ewg hooks i have an even better hook up % with straight shank hooks.  

when i use an ewg hook i like the wide gap plus owner hooks.  i like a heavy hook  with senkos and think it gives them even more wiggle and shimmy.

This is interesting. The hook brand selection on this thread is between just 2 or 3 brands. I have some Owners as well as Gammy's.

I have a bunch of BPS 3/0 EWG hooks I've been using, and missing recently.

What is everyone's opinion on these BPS hooks? 

Are the BPS hooks not near as good, even when brand new?

What is the best hook for a 4 inch senko. Since I don't think wal mart sells senko's so where can i buy senko's.I would buy them online but sure don't want to pay for shipping lol.

5/0 Gammy EWG for 5" senko

3/0 same for 4" senko

5/0 Gammy EWG Superline hook for 6"

Walmart sells the Kinami Flash. Same exact bait, in a different package.

Try * they ship US mail for cheap.  I like them.  I know its a knock off but its an option.

My PB was on their site. (Shameless, I know.  I had to, its my only hawg   :;) )

On topic.  I switched from a 3/0 to a 4/0 Heavy on the 5" stick.  I liked it. The wiggle was...more pronounced.  Maybe.  It could have been the beer or the heat.  Regardless, It works.  The 3/0 I save for flukes.  The 4/0 Heavy makes them fall wierd.  Wierd in a bad way.
