Shakyhead Hook Size for a 4.5 inch Roboworm?

[SpinLight]

If you throw a Roboworm or other small-diameter worm on a shaky head, what size hook do you use?

1/0

2/0 with a short shank.  Not too many around in the lighter wights I like to use 1/16 and 3/32.  Theyre expensive, but Picasso makes a really good one.  Normally I dislike screw locks, but these are pliable and don't really get in the way.  

 

Bite Me Tackle has great one, but the eye is horizontal instead of vertical.  They come with a Gami sproat hook and are perfect for finesse worms.  The keeper is really effective, but the baits dont last as long. 

For longer worms my favorite SH is Gamis Tricky head.  It does everything well and has that Oshaughnessy style hook which just sticks em.  The shanks are a little long for 4.5" worms IMO, but work great for 5" or longer.  Really like the keeper ass well, it hold traditional plastisol and elaztech really well.

Just the plain hooks not the poured heads.

There all Gami hooks.  The G finess Tricky head is a custom hook, I think.  Greenfish uses that flateyed sproat in a finesse swimjig, so they may be available.
