bassin is addicting Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 anybody used these? 7/0 offset round bend... they look like the ticket for the big worms instead of the 5/0 EWG's i have. if there is a better option....i'm open for suggestions.. thanks.. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted July 1, 2010 Super User Posted July 1, 2010 I use them on 14 inch worms. They are okay for 12 inch but a little big. Quote
KC Bass Fanatic Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 I've been recommending these here for months. They are hands down the best big worm hook out there. The hook-up ratio will go up because it reduces the misses on those pesky short strikers. I use 7/0 for 10" worms and the 11/0 for 12" and bigger. Super sharp out of the package and hold up well. Buy some and you'll never use anything else on your big worms. Quote
KC Bass Fanatic Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 I use them on 14 inch worms. They are okay for 12 inch but a little big. The 7/0 too big for a 12"? I use them on a 10" Power Worm and they are perfect. I know it's down to personal preference but I like my worm to have as much hook as possible without affecting the action. Quote
Big Tom Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 I bought them about a year ago but I haven't fished a big worm with them much at all. I will have to dig them back out and give them a fair shake soon. Until this post, I forgot I had them. I did notice that they do a really good job of keeping those huge worms in tact longer. So I would say they are worth it for that reason. Quote

Thats just it.Preference. That hook is way too long IMO and eats up too much of the worm especially on a 10 incher. I can't see any reason to use the 11/0 unless one were to throw a 16 inch worm with the diameter of a soda can But the bottom line is they are excellent hooks and your hookups will be darn near perfect using them.

Super User fishfordollars Posted July 2, 2010 Super User Posted July 2, 2010 I fish the 6/0 and 7/0 on all my larger worms. Quote
