Rip, the smaller the number the larger the s-n-glo. The #0 are big. I like plunking size 2-4's for summer steelhead in the Columbia during the warm months. When you have three small ones the beach provides lots of playroom. I used a cheater for the first time last week and caught a nice springer nate. Had it in my box for years and finally decided to try it. They look like a bulked up spin-glo.
