snake95 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I recently came across a stash of 1/0 Gamma straight shank worm hooks - pretty tiny, but I know guys like some pretty small drop shot hooks, too. What do you use them for, for bass? U-tails and small Creme worms to fish for small pond bass? Anything else? Quote

Super User WRB Posted March 31, 2017 Super User Posted March 31, 2017 Do you have a number for these hooks besides 1/0 worm hook. Tom Quote
Dorado Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I use a #1 Gamma Roboworm rebarb for Zoom tiny flukes, Roboshad, and 4.5 " Roboworm straight tails 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted March 31, 2017 Super User Posted March 31, 2017 Gammy size 1/0 straight shank light wire (rubber worm hook) is stsndard fineese presentation hook with 4 lb to 8 lb mono/FC line with spinning reel. Gamakatsu makes lots of different style hooks, need a number or photo to ID the hook. Tom 1 Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted March 31, 2017 Super User Posted March 31, 2017 They work well with a modified mojo rig that I've used for many years. Putting a small 4" straight tailed worm on those hooks, with a small weight about 2' above it and dragging it slowly on the bottom, is very effective. 3 Quote

Good point WRB - sorry about that. I had in mind worm hook, offset shank - not straight shank, per below. But I also picked up some 1/0 straight shank hooks to try too, as luck would have it. I'm fairly new to using plastics - only one year in a serious way. I typically use a 3/0 to 5/0 offset shank worm hook, or various EWG's with craws and creatures. I have several packs of these in 1/0 and thinking about using them for small worms but interested to hear how others use them. Thanks guys. http://www.gamakatsu.com/fishing-hooks.php?pid=1163 5 hours ago, Crestliner2008 said: They work well with a modified mojo rig that I've used for many years.

Thanks for the tip. Quote
bassguytom Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 I use a 1/0 EGW worm hook on a mojo rig with a Z man hula stickz. It floats up off the bottom and is a fish catcher for me. Quote
papajoe222 Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 I use them for longer thin worms, not necessarily small in length. I prefer the EWG for drop-shot and some split-shot (mojo) rigs over the offset. Quote
