Favorite Hooks For Texas Rig Worms

[Green Trout]

What is your favorite hook for a skinny 7 inch plastic worm? Also what plastic worms catch more fish?

Thanks

well it all depends of how I'm fishing it, if I'm using a bullet weight with a ribbon tail worm ill got with a 3 or 4/0 light wire EWG and that worm will usually be either a berkley or netbait (it all depends on personal preference) if your looking to try out different colors i would suggest berkley havoc juice worms for $2.99 a pack you can't beat it for all the colors they have and add your own scent

 

as for straight tail worms ill use a 3/0 offset worm hook fishing it weightless and ill always by zoom and I'm almost always using white, green pumpkin chart tail or a black red flake either weightless or on a shaky head

 

hope this helps

tight lines, jim

It a toolbox imo. You use the right hook for the right bait. I have 1/0 through 5/0 in both ewg and offset shank. I also twist lock, weighted hooks, and others. Use the biggest hook you can that won't affect the action of the bait. Use either a lightwire or heavywire hook depending on vegetation.

4/0 EWG Gami for 5in Senkos.  Anything bigger gets a 5/0 or the EWG Monster.

For a skinny worm like a Creme Scoundrel I like a EWG hook in a 2/0 or 3/0 size.

[Bluebasser86]

2/0 or 3/0 H2O or Eagle Claw Lazer sharp EWG.

For that worm I'm using a 3/0 offset round bend hook unless in heavy cover, then I'm using the TK130 Trokar flipping hook in a 3/0 size also. Before those I used the Eagle Claw laser sharp offset round bend and heavy cover I used a Gamakatsu offset EWG superline hook, the advent of straight shank hooks with a keeper on them really changed my mind on heavy cover hooks. I use to like the Gamakatsu straight shank but the keeper kept moving on hook sets so I went to the Trokar and have been really happy.

3/0 or 4/0 skip gap depending on the "skinnyness"

Anything bigger I use a twist lock straight shank.

Latley, I can't rig anything else but the Cut R.
