Fat-G Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 What hooks do you guys use for 10" + inch worms? I was thinking of the Gammy Monster EWG. Thanks! Quote
Anglin Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I use those very same Gammy's in 6/0 and they work just fine when using them on 10" worms. Quote

Super User Hammer 4 Posted February 8, 2010 Super User Posted February 8, 2010 I use those very same Gammy's in 6/0 and they work just fine when using them on 10" worms. I even use a 5/0 sometimes, it all depends on how Thick the worm is..lenght has nada to do with it. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted February 8, 2010 Super User Posted February 8, 2010 I may have to pick up some of those hooks. I fish a lot of large worms (10"-12"). I'll use a twist lock 5/0, or a ewg 5/0 gammy threaded way down through the worm body. Quote
Super User Catt Posted February 8, 2010 Super User Posted February 8, 2010 I select hook size based on worm thickness not length; if I can I prefer straight shank hooks for all plastics, if not round bend offset like Strike King's Saber Point. Quote
A-Rob Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 a 5/0 will work. I find (nothing new here) that they pick it up by the head and the hook will be in its mouth, it doesn't matter too much b/w the 5/0 and 6/0 in my opinion. Quote

Dave D Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 I use 5/0 Gamakatsu EWG's with 10" worms and have yet to have a problem. I hope I'm not missing out on something. Quote
YeahSure Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 How does everyone feel about using Gammy superlines for 10 inch worms? Quote

Jeff C. Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Cat, so you leave the hook point exposed? Quote
Super User Catt Posted February 9, 2010 Super User Posted February 9, 2010 Cat, so you leave the hook point exposed? NOPE Quote
midnighthrasher Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 http://www.***.com/descpage-OOW.html X2 i use the 7/0 for 10 inch powerworms and the 4/0 for 7 inch. great hook Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted February 10, 2010 Super User Posted February 10, 2010 Those Kut tails in those sizes really do look nice. I've gotta try out that spoon jig head one of these days. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted February 10, 2010 Super User Posted February 10, 2010 This past weekend, on "Getting Schooled With J.P. Derose" (I think that's how he spells his name?), he interviewed the rep from Keitech. Specific question was this one. Answer was that a standard gap, 5/0 worm hook is what they use in their 10" ribbon tails. Quote
