NewKidInTown Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 I have always used either Gammy Octopus 2/0 or Owner Mosquito 2/0 for Wacky rigging. I was curious if anyone here uses Owner MUTU CIRCLE HOOKS. They say on the back,don't set the hook,fish lip hooks itself..anyone have experience? Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted June 23, 2010 Super User Posted June 23, 2010 I use the 2 you mentioned. I have also used a size 2 circle hook. never had any problems, and yep you don't need to really set the hook, just apply pressure. never had a fish come off using those hooks. Lately, I have been buying the owner hooks.. Quote
Super User Sam Posted June 23, 2010 Super User Posted June 23, 2010 I use circle hooks when fishing for catfish. The hook's design puts the hook in the corner of the catfish's mouth. I use either a weedless #1 or 1/0 for wacky rigs. Quote
jdw174 Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Lately, I have been buying the owner hooks.. +1 on the Owner Wacky Hooks. Haven't lost a fish yet on them. They're super sharp. I've also used the Jackall Flick-It with the same results. Quote

hmongkidBee Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 go with the owner dropshot hook. I go as small as I can especially when fishing in grassy or rocky areas. My favorite size is 2. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted June 24, 2010 Super User Posted June 24, 2010 I only use two hooks for wacky rigging. The first one is for open water fishing. It's the Gamakatsu 1/0 In-Line Circle hook. I've caught hundreds of 2 1/2 - 4 3/4 lb. smallmouth bass on this hook. And I even crimp down the barb. Rarely have lost a fish and they usually get hooked in the upper lip. No "hook set" required; just start reeling and the hook does the rest. The second hook I use is the Gamakatsu 1/0 Finesse W.G. Weedless, which I use in heavy cover for LM bass in the weeds, or when fishing smallies along river blow downs. I crimp the barbs on these as well and have had no problems. Either one of these hooks will help you catch a lot of fish. Quote
