Agree, for a 10" Ole Monster I use a 4/0 EWG offset. Seems to balance the size of that worm. If I go to the Mag Monster, I switch to a 5/0

One of the wobble heads I use has long shank 5/0 hooks attached and have been a huge fan of those lately. I usually throw a Hayabusa 5/0-7/0 offset depending on length. I usually throw 10-14” worms though.

Depending on the worm's diameter...yusually a either a long shank offset hook ( 5/0) or an EWG style 6/0 or 7/0. Two things to consider, 1) is the bite big enough for the worm's diameter 2) is it long enough for those short strikes This, I fished the SOT with 3/0 on 10 inch Power Worms and reeled in two bit in half, never boated a fish. I've also been kicking around the idea of rigging say a 2/0 hook further back on a leader connected to the primary hook up front so there is something in the mid section to cover those short bites as well. Something similar what they do with the old Creme worms. I fully beieve you have to get the hook right for the diameter but I also beleive these larger worms are subject to short or mid section bites and a bigger hook won't help in that situation.
