Hey guys, I'm new to jug fishing and could use a little help with choosing a proper hook size. I will be using small bluegill (2-4") and possibly shad or shiners for bait.

circle hooks above that works good for me. +1 match hook size to size of bait 7/0 is a big hook and a 4" bluegill is a big bait.

I use 16/0 mustad. But it all depends on how big of fish you want. I found that that keeps the small fish off and let's big ones bite.
IF IT AINT BLOWIN I AINT GOWIN

I'd use a 6/0 Mustad treble.
There is no such thing as "too much" fishing.

a 6/0 treble is huge ... you must go for big fish
regards albertking catfishing is now an industry ... it's best for the industry to eat baby catfish
