Since you asked about Senkos in your other question, I assume that is what you are asking about here. 3/0 is the size for the best action from the bait. If that isn't what you are asking, not sure what you really mean? I have caught bass up to 5lbs on a #6 split shot drop shot hook.

Depends on the size and or thickness of the bait for me. I'm not using a small hook on a big ole thick bait,.

A 3/0 for a 6 inch worm, a 4/0 for a 7 inch worm. a 5/0 -6/0 for the 8-10 inch is what I have read in a good detailed book.

Simple as that^^^ You may consider a straight shank or an off-set shank also. Make sure you use a good quality hook! I like Owner.
