Wacky Hook Size #1

[TheUrbanAnglr]

Is it too small to hook bass with this size hook? What are your thoughts on this?

I use 1/0 for wide gap finesse hooks when wacky rigging 6" stick baits typically. #1 I would be fine with using for smaller or thinner worms.

Absolutely not too small. For years I was using size #2 Gamakatsu

Split shot/drop shot hooks for bass and caught plenty of girls over

4 pounds.

 

Heck, for a while I went down to #4 Gamakatsu Wide Gap Finesse!

I thought I read a few places that #1 was the perfect size. I went out and got some owner #1 and they have been working. I did have a monster smallmouth sling one back at me on the jump after a long fight but I think that can happen with any hook every now and then.

Definitely not too small.  I get better hookups when i wacky rig with an EWG, but I only use a #4 and #2 Gamakatsu ewg hook when I do it.  I never lose fish.

 

I buy the bulk packs

Not too small. I got one size bigger earlier this year and wish I got the 1

I use these in 2/0 but a 1/0 would be fine too.

I use a #2 VMC weedless neko hook for wacky rigging, works great, and sticky sharp.
