I.rar Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 yep , the bait monkey made me do it. i picked up my first pack of zoom ol monsters. they had a 10 count bag and a 9 count bag. one of them had some indents on the tail while the others didnt. :-? the ones i grabbed were the 9 count green pumpkin kind with the smooth tail...along with some strike king plastics dicks had on clearance for $.97 a bag. but yeah , im curious. what size hooks do you guys use with these beasts? 5/0 ewg?

Stagerlee Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 5/0 seems a bit to big. I think 2/0 - 3/0 would be good. What type water will you be fishing? Quote
I.rar Posted August 4, 2009 Author Posted August 4, 2009 2/0 or 3/0 for a 10" worm? :-? funny you ask what im fishing because i dont even know yet. i went to get my license but im not a NC resident yet , and when i become one , the non-resident license wont work and ill have to pay to get a resident one. it was a bait monkey type thing.

Rob.Atl Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Use a 5/0 ewg thats what others told me and thats what i use 2/0 or 3/0 will be to small for sure Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 5/0 seems a bit to big. I think 2/0 - 3/0 would be good.What type water will you be fishing? Your kidding right!?! An Ol' Monster needs at least a 5/0 EWG!!! Quote
TheHammer84 Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 might be able to get away with a 4/0, but definitely a 5/0 is your best bet Quote

Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted August 5, 2009 Super User Posted August 5, 2009 For 9 to 10 inch worms I like the old school t rig hooks in 4/0 X2 x3 and use a 5/0 if the bait is thicker.Owner offset shank worm hooks get the job done well. Quote
J-B Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 That is a beast of a worm. Just go all out and tie on a tow hook. Seriously though. You will do good with the 5/0 ewg. Quote
