pipho Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 I use EWG and was just wondering what everyone else uses. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted January 14, 2007 Super User Posted January 14, 2007 For jigs or soft plastics? Allen Quote
justfishin Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 Soft plastics, Gamakatsu G-Lock 4/0. www.gamakatsu.com/catalog/worm.htm Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 14, 2007 Super User Posted January 14, 2007 I keep my hook selection nice and simple. I use EWG gamakatsu's for just about everything that I rig weedless. Is it the best option in certain situations...........probably not............but is's not the worst either, and in about 95% of my fishing they do the job with zero problems. I know alot of people like regular gap and/or straight shank worms hooks for flipping because they sat the EWG catches too much vegitation on it...........maybe it does in there situation, but I find it to be so little of a problem it's not worth the hassel of buying/keeping extra hooks.

Supermat Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 Owner Rig'n hook or offset. 4/0-11/0 depending on the situation. Quote
Super User Catt Posted January 14, 2007 Super User Posted January 14, 2007 Mustad Straight Shank Denny Brauer Flipping Hook Quote
Chris Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 I use a straight shank it has the best hook up for flipping. If I am flipping a tube or a large body bait then I use a EWG hook. Quote
Brad_Coovert Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 Straight shank hooks go through cover better and will get snagged less than offset bend hooks. So, for most flipping, I use a straight shank hook designed or flipping, such as a Reaction Innovation BMF or Mustad Flipping Hook. If the bait is too wide for a straight shank hook, I will use an EWG. Brad Quote
Rattlinrogue Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I use a 4/0 or 5/0 EWG hook when pitchin' or flippin' tubes and creature baits. Quote
