I am actually going to try the Owner Wacky hooks this year. I normally use the Owner Mosquitoes in 2/0 with very good results. Gammy 2/0 Octopus is good also. Quote
Super User Sam Posted February 24, 2010 Super User Posted February 24, 2010 #1 Gold. 1/0 Weedless 2/0 Weedless Go with the weedless if you throw in a lot of structure or grass. Quote
soccplayer07 Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I normally use the Owner Mosquitoes in 2/0 x2 Quote
whoopbazz Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 owner mosquitos hooks...Size 1 for 3" baits and aize 1/0 for 4" baits. Too big of a hook make the bait fall too fast IMO. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 24, 2010 Super User Posted February 24, 2010 I tried a few pakages of the Owners you linked to above, and while the hookup was good, the hooks were not very durable. I would have preferred black nickel finish and cutting point. Until they make that hook for me, I've great results with Gam. Finesse Wide Gap hooks in 1/0 and 2/0 sizes. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted February 24, 2010 Super User Posted February 24, 2010 J Francho, what a coincidence I just bought two packages of the gammy finesse wide gap hooks in 1/0 & 2/0 sizes yesterday to take along on a trip to south Georgia later this week. I hadn't tried them yet but they looked perfect for the job. Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted February 24, 2010 Super User Posted February 24, 2010 I like the Falcon 3/0 - 1/16 K wacky weedless hook. I know, throwing wacky rigs where I throw them, I'm going to lose hooks from time to time. I seem to lose less of these than some of the other brands mentioned. Quote
bassin is addicting Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 i use 1/0 Mustad weedless wacky... wireguard is pretty durable and hook stays sharp. i've caught over 20 fish on one hook. Quote

I know, throwing wacky rigs where I throw them, I'm going to lose hooks from time to time. I seem to lose less of these than some of the other brands mentioned. Finally some one else on here, besides me,who's using those hooks. They are my favorite for 5" and 6" Senkos. I like the 1/16th oz and weightless ones. For 4" baits I use the Gamakatsu finesse EWG in 2/0 both weedless and standard. For wacky rigging small baits on a DS rig I use a #1 Gammy DS hook. Quote
D4u2s0t Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I usually use either a 2/0 or a 3/0 ewg hook. One of my faves for wacky rigging is a 3/0 ewg hook with 1/8oz keel weight. Will get you a little better casting distance, is light enough to not mess up the action, but the best part is that the bait ALWAYS falls with the hook upright. Meaning significantly less chance to hang up on the bottom, and makes it easier to throw around stumps and other cover without hanging up. Quote
DWG1984 Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Depends on the worm thickness thinner flickshake/wacky crawler/trick worm I use the owner 1/0 on a senko prfile I go 2/0 Quote

That's what got me hooked on wacky rigs. No pun intended. Quote
