reo Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I use gamakatsu drop shot/split shot hooks, size 1 and 1/0 Hope this helps reo Quote
Matt 825 Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I use mostly Gamakatsu Drop Shot hooks. The size I use depends on the size of the bait I am using. I mostly use a size 2 though. But will go as small as size 8 with smaller baits. Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 28, 2009 Super User Posted January 28, 2009 Gamakatsu Split Shot/Drop Shot size 1. Get the 25 hook value pack if you can find it. Quote
SkeeterZX225 Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Same as everyone above except I use a #4 mostly. Quote
SPAZ Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I use gamakatsu drop shot/split shot hooks, size 1 and 1/0Hope this helps reo I use the same and have been very happy. Quote
Md Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 X3. Also this year I bought some Roboworm rebarb hooks to try to rig my dropshots weedless for different situations. I read somewhere this is what Aaron Martens uses so I'm going to give it a shot. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted January 28, 2009 Super User Posted January 28, 2009 Owner Mosquito is beefier and sharper than the Gamakatsu. Size? 1 Quote
madbass Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Started using the Daichi Stand-out hook last year. I really like them so far. N0. 1 Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 28, 2009 Super User Posted January 28, 2009 Gamakatsu drop shot #1 for me. When I want to fish weedless, I use the Gamakatsu EWG #1. Never had an issue with either, high hook up rate, and I drop shot alot. Quote
Bantam1 Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Owner Mosquito for nose hooked baits in sizes 1, 2, 4, and 6 depending on the line size and plastic I decide to use. I mostly use 2 and 4. I like the rebarb hooks too for weedless applications. I also use the light wire Mustad wide gap. I can't remember the name so I'll guess and say its a Finesse Wide Gap in size 1 and 1/0. Quote
cbfishalot Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Gamakatsu Split Shot/Drop Shot size 1.Get the 25 hook value pack if you can find it. AGREE 100% after trying every hook on the market!! Quote
detroit1 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I've tried them all also, and now only use Owners in every size they make. Quote
OK Bass Hunter Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Owner Mosquito Hooks size 4 to 2/0. Quote
WCCT Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Owner Mosquito size 1 and 2. I have had too many Gammy's bent by smallmouth. Owner's seem to be sharper too. Quote
