master_baiter Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 what hooks do u tend to use for c-rigs? i have read EWG but have no clue on its full name Quote
nwgabassmaster Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 Depends on the size of the lure that I am using. 3-5 in. lure = 1/0 EWG Gamakatsu 6-7 in. lure = 2/0 EWG Gamakatsu 8-9 in. lure= 3/0-4/0 EWG Gamakatsu (depends on thickness of lure. 10+ inches = 6/0 EWG Gamakatsu Hope that this helps. ;D Quote
nwgabassmaster Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 That looks like my sweet Gammie. Is it? :-* I love those hooks. ;D Quote
Nick Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 Be careful about using a specific hook size based on length alone. The thickness of the plastic really determines the hook suitable hook size. For example, most tubes are pretty thick so I use at least a 3/0 even on the 3 inch models. Quote
Guest TNT_Hookers Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 Technically, this is an Offset Shank EWG hook isn't it? Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted August 17, 2005 Super User Posted August 17, 2005 Most of the time I will use an EWG but when I am pulling through grass I will switch to a straight shank worm hook. I comes back with alot less grass. Quote
Pa Angler Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 Keep in mind that one manufacturer's size 4/0 may not be the same as another's size 4/0 best to compare. Chow The Pa Angler Quote
