Universal hooks

[Esox pro]

What hook and what size works for all fish and baits mainly use wacky worm. But also use night crawlers,salmon eggs ect

[J Francho]

Pancakes.

 

 

Seriously, though, no one hook does it all.  I can't really even think of one that works for what you listed.  I guess you could try #4 gold bait hook.

It's like asking for a universal rod that can toss 1/16oz Mepps spinners as well as 5oz swimbaits...doesn't exist. My current selection of hooks is around 16 different ones, from #6 baitholders to 5/0 flipping hooks...and I know quite a few people here would probably think my selection to be 'barely adequate'.

My most used hook is a 2/0 ewg from gamakatsu.  Would that work for your purpose I think not.  In your situation I would be looking at a #1 dropshot hook.  No hook can do everything.

All types of fish, all types of baits

Was using those then when unhooking catfish I caught on senko saw how it was nearly broken in half so am going to gamukatsu or some other higher quality 

[camman]

maybe Owner Mosquito hooks or Gamakatsu finesse wide gaps?

Will hold Lots of Salmon eggs, but a 2/0 will hold more!

I want something that big enough to prevent swallowing and small enough to get perch

4/0 or 5/0 - even a 2#-4# bass can swallow a 3/0 if they take it right. If we're talking 6#+ bass - go to a 7/0...I'm not joking, they have BIG mouths (maybe cause of the name)

#6 to 1/0 depending entirely on the size of the perch in your waters.

 

Ya - can't do both with the same hook size...sorry.

[Esox pro]

I know but caught a 12 in perch in the islands on senko and it swallowed it

My seasons for target fish are the following after erie canal filled -drained wacky rig for bass pike ect

for steelhead and brown trout season pre ice and ice out usually use a salmon egg

ice out if trout season is bad and i get mad i go after the perch run

april when finger lakes north ends warm up using gulp minnow for smallmouth

Meant to say egg sacks

[J Francho]

What is the impediment to using more than one hook?

[Esox pro]

If i Get 100 hooks want something that works for all and save money, time, and changing hooks
