Just curious -- what is your favorite hook size and brand for both standard brush hogs and baby brush hogs?

And other than t-rigging em, is there anything else I may wanna try out?

I use a 3/0 EWG light wire Matzuo or Lazer sharp hook. Seems like I get bit more with the lighter gauge hook. They are also good on a Carolina rig or a pegged Texas rig. I have also used them for jig trailers, sometimes biting off the front part for length, depending on the size of the jig.

Owner 4/0 EWG for the baby and 5/0 for the standard.

Such a versatile bait. Used them on chatterbaits, jigs, t-rig, even caught fish throwing them weightless.

I like Gamakatsu myself -- but I am kind of surprised no one has said Trokar yet!

Because Trokar cut a giant gash in fishs mouth causing the hook to come out. This happens because it's a cutting point vs. just a point which penetrates making a smaller hole.
