UKCATSBASSER Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 What size would you use for say a 4 inch worm? What about a 6 inch fat roboworm? Thanks Quote
Megastink Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 1/0 for the 4", 2/0 for the 6". I actually buy the Gammy B10S stinger hooks, tie on a small fiber keeper. It makes a great drop shot hook for a lot less money. Quote
Stapsy Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 For the 4 inch the 1/0 or 2/0 and for the 6 inch fat 3/0 or 4/0. Both sizes are equally good to me. Gun to my head i would take the 1/0 and 3/0. I tend to stick with the 4/0 for 3/16oz or 1/4oz texas rigs and would size down slightly for drop shot. They are the only hooks I use unless I am want a really thick plastic. If you can wait a couple days I can take some picture for you with the roboworms. Quote
UKCATSBASSER Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 Yeah not planning to order until next week Quote
poisonokie Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 my favorite roboworm hook is a sixteenth ounce owner shakey head. Quote
MrBigFishSC Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 For dropshot I use 2 or 1 but not 1/0 or larger unless it's a bubba shot setup. I also use spin shot books Quote
mattk22 Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 I use a 1/0 light wire for all of my roboworms. I use mostly 6" and 4" Fats. I think you could easily go 2/0 with the 6". But I love the light wire, you never miss a bite. Quote
Super User WRB Posted September 18, 2015 Super User Posted September 18, 2015 Roboworm regard are straight shank light wire hooks; size 2 for 4" and size 1/0 for 6", for split shot, if you are drop shot weedless use I use Owner down shot #5133 sise 1 for 4" & 5" ,size 1/0 for 6" or fat body worms. Nose hooked drop shot I use Owner mosquito or Gamakatsu drop shot, size 1 for 4" to 6" worm. The larger size hooks are too large for finesse worms and line under 10 lb test. Tom Quote

Tom How thick is the wire on the Owner 5133? Is it a light wire hook? How do you like it compared to the Rebarb? Quote
Super User WRB Posted September 19, 2015 Super User Posted September 19, 2015 How thick is the wire on the Owner 5133? Is it a light wire hook? How do you like it compared to the Rebarb?The Rebarb Gamakatsu size 1 is .035D, size 1 & 1/0 #5133 is .031D, size 2/0 is .035D, to give you some idea.The #5133 is very strong light wire hook, no barbs, the off set bend helps to hold the worm in place. The Rebarb uses a piece of shrink sleeve to hold the worm in place and holds better, the 5133 tends to stick in the basses mouth better....save worms or catch bass, both work. Tom Quote
