RT, I go a little against the grain on this one, too. Number 2 is the smallest hook I feel comfortable with, I just think the bite (bight?) of a number 4 is too small, and can pull out easier. I prefer a single number 1 VMC or Gamakatsu, and use them about 90% of the time. I just seem to lose twice as many hooks with the double rigs. My partner uses long leaders, I don't; I use yarn in my egg loop, he doesn't; I peg my corkies, he never does; he uses spinning reels, I use mainly baitcasters...we catch about the same number of fish, usually .
