    Default What size hooks

    What size hooks do you use striper/hybrid fishing? Down rigging trolling, do you use a egg sinker with lead? Pictures of your rig??

    What ever is my damn tackle bag LOL

    Seriously I have used so many size hooks and between saltwater and stripers I can not recall which is which.

    I have used the red circle hooks but can not tell any difference in them and plain hooks, I do like a stout hook which Owner makes but they can be little expensive but do not bend

    I like the 4/0 circle hooks

    Also fluoro leader, Yozuri pink

    Don't do much downrod fishing or cut bait but when I do 1 oz is normally enough and it is an egg sinker

    When freelining I will use split shot sometimes on one bait to see if it makes a difference
