Super User F14A-B Posted July 21, 2014 Super User Posted July 21, 2014 I think straight, I use owner cps 3/0 to 5/0 but, I just like those, also I use a lot of straight and offset round bend to.... That's my choice.. Good luck Guy.... Quote

Super User WRB Posted July 21, 2014 Super User Posted July 21, 2014 Wacky rig or nose hook with Owner #5172 size 1/0 for 4" Senko. Tom Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted July 21, 2014 Super User Posted July 21, 2014 For a 4 " Senko, a 3/0 offset round bend is hard to beat ! 1 Quote
papajoe222 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 A straight shank, round bend worm hook. If you prefer an off set hook, I'd recommend an EWG over the round bend. Go one size up with the straight shank. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 22, 2014 Global Moderator Posted July 22, 2014 I prefer an EWG, never had much luck with the hooksets with a straight shank but they work well for others. Try both and see what works for you would be my best suggestion. Quote
frogflogger Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 straight shanks, solid hookups - ewgs can flex but I've used them all and in reality not very particular except with traditional worms and flipping - then it's always straight. Quote
