Are 3/0 Hooks too big for Sebago and the 4's too small?

Size 6 are too small and size 4 are too big,that's why I use a size 5,they're perfect.

I find 4's are too big for the most part. I use 6's for just about everything except for brookies I use size 8. I like the Gamakatsu red octopus hooks.

size 6 with a spinner for most everything maybe a size 8 for a brookie and maybe a size 4 for big bass/ pike
Its not a passion its an obsession
