I agree with Huntar on this one.The bait(corky,whatever) must be able to fit within the gap of the hook.If the hook point is not exposed your in trouble.

I also feel that no matter what size hook you are running,the rod must have enough backbone to bury that hook.Unless you have a rod snappin hookset it does you no good to be fishing 2/0s with a light action rod or even in some cases a medium action.

Hooks sizes should be in proportion to the bait you are using.If you are running single corkies,size 6 to 1/0 is usually good.If you are running shrimp tails I wouldn't go any smaller than a 1/0.

Hope this helps.ReiterRat
