Travis Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 What kind of hooks do you guys prefer for your Zoom... Baby Brush Hogs Brush Hogs 6" Lizards Magnum Lizards Trick Worms Thanks Quote
Deuceu72 Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 I like Owner EWG 3/0, 4/0 or 5/0 for everything you listed except the baby brush hog........I would downsize the hook to a 1/0 or 2/0 EWG or so............ ;D ;D ;D Quote
Hawgin Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 I use Gamakatsu 3/0 and 4/0 EWG's for 95% of all plastics I fish. Quote
skillet Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 I have only used the Brush Hogs and the Baby Brush Hogs (IMO the best creature baits around ). I have had really good luck using #2 EWG Gammi hooks on both... As Ever, Skillet Quote
Papa_Tom Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Mustad Big Mouth Tube hooks in 2/0, 3/0 and 4/0 take care of about 98% of my soft bait needs. I use them for all types of plastics. I tend to keep things rather basic. Quote
Cajun Caster Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I have been using the new Gamakatsu Skip Gap hooks for my plastics. I've been getting more mileage out of my plastics and the hooks hook up just as good as their other wide gaps. Quote
Guest Texas_Bass_Pro Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I like Owner EWG 3/0, 4/0 or 5/0 for everything you listed except the baby brush hog........I would downsize the hook to a 1/0 or 2/0 EWG or so............ ;D ;D ;D What he said. Quote
Triton21 Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Owner Straight Shank Worm Hooks in appropriate size for the plastic bait. Kelley Quote
NEBassMan Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 i have switched to the Owner offset-wide gap worm hooks. 3/0, 4/0, and 5/0 for most all plastics. Jason Quote
JigNBig Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 i like fishin a big 4/0 or 5/0 for most of those but for the trick worms try a 3/0 offset worm hook. NO EWG'S!! Quote

hookem12_0 Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Owner Cutting Point 5/0 Wide Gap Plus goes great with any soft plastic. The only time I will use a smaller hook is if I am fishing a tube or craw that is not long enough for the 5/0. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 13, 2007 Super User Posted February 13, 2007 I like a 3/0 WG or EWG for thick baits like a Senko, but for everything else I will stick to a 2/0 WG. Quote
sal669 Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Gamakatsu EWG 1/0 to 4/0 for 90% of my soft plastics, sometimes I will use jigs, rarely regular worm or ofset hooks (gamakatsu) Quote
