bubba12885 Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 What size hooks should I get for T-rigging a 6' tequilla sunrise, a 10' red shad worm, a red shad lizzard (i dont know what size it is but its made by zoom and the product number is 00-029), and horny toad (by zoom, again product number 083-120) Is there any general rule of thumb when it comes to this that I can remember, or is it all pretty much process of elimination, or personal preference?

Super User Munkin Posted March 13, 2007 Super User Posted March 13, 2007 3/0 -5/0 EWG worm hook? If I had to only use one for all those it would be a 4/0. Allen Quote
VAbacklash Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Bubba, I can only tell you what works for me. I prefer 3/0 or 4/0 Owner hooks, depending on the thickness of my bait. I plan on trying Gammy wide gaps this year on certain plastics such as Senkos, which I have never used that much before. Maybe some of the other guys and gals here can give you better insight on what to use. Good fishing! Quote
volpster31 Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 i use 3/0 wide gap gamakatsu for almost all soft plastics...i personally wouldnt go smaller than that ,but larger 4/0 or 5/0 i would for certain baits.......... Quote
Super User burleytog Posted March 13, 2007 Super User Posted March 13, 2007 Well, for the 6 foot worm, I would recommend a 25/0 Gamakatsu. For the 10 foot worm, something around 30/0 or 35/0 should work. ;D Quote
VAbacklash Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Burley, what machine shop makes those 25/0 hooks? Can't find'em in my area !! Quote
Super User burleytog Posted March 13, 2007 Super User Posted March 13, 2007 Special order from Gamakatsu. $250 each. I use them for bull bluegill. Quote
BassFishingMachine Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 I don't want to make a new topic for such a quick question, but can I ask real fast, what hook is most suitable for a Fat Ika? Quote
Super User flechero Posted March 14, 2007 Super User Posted March 14, 2007 I don't want to make a new topic for such a quick question, but can I ask real fast, what hook is most suitable for a Fat Ika? Gamakatsu EWG 4/0 standard wire is perfect, IMO. Quote
NEBassMan Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 I use a 4/0 on 6" worms...and step up to 7/0 on 10" worms. Jason Quote
SwampMan Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 I like 3/0 on 5 - 7 inch worms, and 5/0 on 8 - 10 inch worms. Quote
