Bronzeback117 Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I use a Owner Mosquito Hook 2/0. Just curious what the best hooks you guys use. Quote

Guest muddy Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Finesse Wide Gap but I am about to start useing the Wacky Jig Heads. Hey Flukey I saw those also, wouldn't they alter the wiggle and the drop rate? If so when would that be more helpful? Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted January 25, 2008 Super User Posted January 25, 2008 This is a good article about how to fish it. http://basstournament.blogspot.com/2006/12/finesse-wacky-jig.html Quote
Bronzeback117 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Posted January 25, 2008 What size Finesse Wide Gap do you use? Quote
VA BassHound Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I use a Gamakatsu's Octopus Hook 2/0 MODEL 02312 for zoom finesse worms, and 3/0 MODEL 02313 for zoom trick worms Quote
Korea_Bassin Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Nothing fancy here. In the hot part of the summer, I use just a regular 1/4 oz. jig head. That with a motor oil 4" stick worm is my most reliable bait on slow hot days. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Super User Posted January 25, 2008 #221311 Gamakatsu RED 1/0 Octopus inline circle hooks - period. And I crimp down the barb besides! Pure hooking/holding power; allowing quick and easy catch, photograph and release. I use this hook exclusively when fishing Senkos in more open water situations for smallmouth bass; have been doing so for 3 seasons now. Can't remember the last time I lost a big smallie or caused one damage. Great hooks. Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 25, 2008 Super User Posted January 25, 2008 #1 gold hook. 1/0 weedless. 2/0 weedless. I have found the weedless can allow me to get into more structure without getting hung up. Quote
Just_Old_Fisherman Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I like the Gamakasu 3/0 Wide Gap Finesse. I tie my own weedguard on since I can't find these larger hooks in the weedless plus the weedguard on the smaller 1 & 2 size hooks I can find is worthless in very heavy brush like I fish. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted January 25, 2008 Super User Posted January 25, 2008 Same hook used exposed point and weedless. Quote
Bass Meister Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I have to agree with Just Old Fisherman...the 1 & 2 size (supposedly weedless) hooks are WORTHLESS >. Sam, I dont know how you keep from getting hung up. The concept of a weedless hook is to provide some assurance that you can throw into an area and most of the time not get hung up. Well, I've tried these above mentioned hooks and just about every time I throw into cover, I get hung up. So, for now,I am rigging the Senko the standard way. JOF or anyone else, can you advise on how I should proceed to fish the Senko wacky rigged yet weedless? Quote
TournyFish001 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Finesse Wide Gap but I am about to start useing the Wacky Jig Heads. I tried this late fall before it got too cold- and OMG what a tactic! Fish it like a jig once it is on the bottom, then HOLD ON :-X I can't wait to use this technique for my 08' tourny trail. Quote
