Are my hooks too big?

(1/2) > >>

walpy:
Hey guys,

I've never had luck for togue - wondering if my hooks are too big?

I have been using 1/0 on 6-8" suckers, or #6 on my smelts. Really would like to land one this year.

I'm still trying to learn to match hook size to bait size but clearly not getting it yet haha.

pieman1998:
here we just use a 12 or 14 for all fishing even with a 6to 8" in sucker

adkiceman1:
I don’t use any bigger than 8’s.  12lb Fluoro leaders.

desmobob:
I've never used anything but #12 and #14 trebles.  I am curious about circle hooks, though...

Tight lines,
Bob

Cub:
1/0 is probably to big.. I use #6 octopus
