djmax22 Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 I am wondering what hook(s) you guys are using for giant worms (13"+). Are you using just one hook or is it a double hook setup? *Mods if this is posted in the wrong spot I apologize. Quote

Super User Hammer 4 Posted March 18, 2011 Super User Posted March 18, 2011 Thickness of the worm dictates which size hook to use. On some hand pours I can get by with 5/0, usually a 6/0 works for most though. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted March 18, 2011 Super User Posted March 18, 2011 I guess, now that I think about it, I use the Owner 5110 some, too. I think it's only available in something like 7/0 and 11/0. Quote

On some hand pours I can get by with 5/0, usually a 6/0 works for most though. even for the 17 and 19" worms? As I said, depends on the diameter of the worm. Haven't fished a 19" worm, so I can't comment, the OP said 13 + I do fish 16" worms with a 6/0 hook. Quote
B A S S E R Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 i throw some 12" on 5/0 or 6/0 depending on various conditions. clearer water or thicker grass I'll use the 5/0. stained water and not as much cover or fishing in wood/structure ill go to the 6/0 Quote
KC Bass Fanatic Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Hands down the Owner Oversized Worm Hook. Best big worm hook out there IMHO. It comes in 7/0 or 11/0. Quote
MMan16 Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Hands down the Owner Oversized Worm Hook. Best big worm hook out there IMHO. It comes in 7/0 or 11/0. x2. I like the 7/0 for anything around 11in. Quote
Super User Catt Posted March 19, 2011 Super User Posted March 19, 2011 I select hook size based on the thickness of the plastic not the length of the plastic Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted March 19, 2011 Super User Posted March 19, 2011 All good posts on here. I fish Big worms on night trips. And I fish worms from 10 in. to a 15 in. worm. And you can get away with a 5/0 up to a 7/0 for worms 10 to 15 in. I like the Netbait C-Mac in the 15 in. and that worm is less body and more tail than most 15 in. worms and that is what I want,more tail action! Quote
