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.
