ClackerBuzz Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 Can anyone recommend a small light-wire 1" hook, maybe #4 or #6? I'd prefer EWG but can round bend as long as it's off-set. I know it doesn't seem like bass gear but it's going on a 4.5" zoom finesse worm, 4 lb line in pressured waters. Thanks Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 10, 2020 Global Moderator Posted August 10, 2020 I'm not exactly sure how short they are, but I have these in a 2/0 that I use to pour on a 1/8oz swing head for the Pit Boss Jr and it fits it well. I'd imagine the #1 is getting really close to what you're looking for. It's a very short shank hook just as advertised. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Owner_Rig-N-Hook_Worm_Hooks/descpage-ORNHW.html 1 Quote
Super User JustJames Posted August 10, 2020 Super User Posted August 10, 2020 Gamatkatsu #2 EWG and #1 Roboworm rebarb hook should fit 4.5” finesse worm. I use these with 4.5 Roboworm, dropshot or Texas rig 1/8oz weight. I think it is not 1” but about 1.5”. 1 Quote
Steelhead Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 I'll second the Owner Rig N Hook in a size 1. It's 1 1/8" long. I just happened to have a ruler and some of my tackle at my feet. Gamagatsu Offset G-Lock hook in 1/0 is 1 3/16" long. I use both for small finesse plastics and the Zoom Finesse worm and the 4" Dead Ringer are at the top of the rotation. 2 Quote

You don't need to go that small though as a #2 size EWG Gamakatsu hook would be ideal for a Zoom finesse worm (a #4 EWG hook would not provide enough gap for a Zoom finesse worm) . 1 Quote
waymont Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 These are excellent hooks that come in smaller sizes. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Gamakatsu_Offset_G-Lock_Worm_Hooks/descpage-GOGL.html 1 Quote
