Super User roadwarrior Posted December 18, 2009 Super User Posted December 18, 2009 3/0 EWG Gamakatsu Offset Worm Hook, thin wire. http://www.gamakatsu.com/catalog/worm.htm Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted December 18, 2009 Super User Posted December 18, 2009 Nose hook 'em on a drop shot. DY-NO-MITE! Quote
midnighthrasher Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 Owner worm hooks or ewg work for me... i even used em with a owner weighted beast.... Awesome action with a little weight... I use the 6" in pink Quote
The Bassinator Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 they get the best action from being fished weightless like a jerkbait so any good ewg worm hook will do Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted December 18, 2009 Super User Posted December 18, 2009 The EWG hooks are a little too long for the 3". A better fit with a wide gap hook is the G-Lock because it is shorter. Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted December 18, 2009 Super User Posted December 18, 2009 Lunker City markets the Sluggo. Lunker City also markets the Texposer, a hook designed specially for the Sluggo. I've got some, they work good. The 5/0 Texposer hook is also a good Bubba dropshot hook. Quote
The Rooster Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 I used to rig those little 3" ones on a 1/0 gold light wire hook. I believe it was called an Aberdeen hook. Never missed any fish on it but never caught anything larger than 13" with them either. Quote
catchnm Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 A standard offset worm hook works best for the Slug-Gos. I used to use a 4/0 for the 6" and a 2/0 for the 4" so I'd say a 1/0 would be best for the 3". Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp is a good hook for the money. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted December 19, 2009 Super User Posted December 19, 2009 Nose hook 'em on a drop shot. DY-NO-MITE! 31 degrees, 15-20 mph and spitting rain around here, but I was at a local pond before sunrise! Following Crestliner2008's advice resulted in three 5+ and two 3-4 lbs. Woo-Hoo! Thank you! -Kent Quote
Super User CWB Posted December 20, 2009 Super User Posted December 20, 2009 Never used the 3" but on the 4", a 2/0 - 3/0 Thinwire EWG works fine. I would try a 1/0 or possibly 2/0 for t-rigging. Quote

Thank you! -Kent Like I said....they are dynamite on a drop shot. I probably use them as much as I do the roboworms. The first time I used it in a couple of feet of water - to see how they worked - I was hooked. Happy they worked for ya! Quote
