I have been using a EWG hook for this style bait but have a bad hookup ratio to bites. If you don't use an EWG, what are you using?

Yep, I had the same problem when I first started using beaver-style baits. 4/0 flipping hook as mentioned is the answer. I like the Mustad flipping hook.

I use the smaller size Beaver most of the time with a 3/0 Gamakatsu G-lock wide gap hook.
In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.

Use an eagle claw bobber stop on your line, then a tungsten weight, then a plastic bead, followed by the hook.
