What Ewg Hook Size Should I Use For____

[cjam93]

Hey guys so I am wondering what EWG hook sizes you would recommend I use for a few of these different worms.

 

4in. Senko

5in. Senko

10.5in Ol Monster

Rage Tail Cut-R Worm

[Catch and Grease]

Just make sure the hook is at least twice as wide as the bait and you'll be fine

4 in-3/0  5in 5/0 10.5 in at least a 6/0 and RTCRW depending on length 3 or 5/0 you should have at least half or more of  the bait free to move in the water. match the length of the bait to the hook.

Senko's; 4" use 1/0 weedless wacky hook, 5"& 6" 2/0 weedless wacky hook. Owner or Gamakatsu. Rarely T-rig a Senko, prefer wacky with or without nail nose weights.

6" finesse worms use 1/0 or 2/0 straight Owner 5100 or Gamakasu #49412

7" worms, 3/0 round bend wide gap Owner 5103 or Gamakatsu 484

8" to 9" worms, 4/0. "

10 to 12" worms, 5/0 "

Not a fan of EWG off set hooks.

in my opinion a 3/0 ewg hook is a all around good hook for most soft plastics.

I use 5/0 for 5" senkos. 4/0 for 4" Senkos. I go a bigger for the added weight for casting gear's sake. If I am fishing spinning gear I am typically wacky rigging now. Yamamoto is so soft that you dont need as much gap as you do with other plastics so you could esily get by with smaller. I just make sure I have a fast rod with a solid backbone.

I get by with almost all my EWG hook needs with a 4/0. For smaller finesse worms such as when Texas rigging a 4 or 5" senko, or a trick worm, I use a 3/0 Offset worm hook, not ewg.

what is interesting is that Gary Yamamoto himself says to use 3/0 hooks for his 5" senkos

This. Except I use 4/0 for both EWG and OWH.
