Frequently asked questions

Do hook numbers get bigger or smaller?

Both, in two directions: from #1 down to #32 the numbers get bigger as hooks get smaller; from 1/0 up to 20/0 the numbers get bigger as hooks get bigger. #1 is smaller than 1/0.

What size hook for bass with soft plastics?

2/0 to 4/0 offset worm hooks cover most 4–6 inch worms and craws. A 4-inch plastic takes a 2/0, a 5-inch a 3/0, a 6-inch a 4/0.

Circle hook vs J hook — which for live bait?

Circle hooks hook fish in the corner of the mouth and almost never gut-hook — the better choice for live bait and catch-and-release. Just don't jerk; let the fish load the rod.
