Well i always have a pole set up for night crawlers. On that pole i have Bass Pros baitholder hooks in 4 o/t. But last year me and some of my paylake buddies had problems out of them. So i need some type of baitholder hooks.

Thats funny that all of you think i should move up to that huge 8/0 hook. Wouldnt that be like shooting your bait fish with a .22 lol. I was thinking of moving down to a 2/0 or something.

i feel i get a better hook set with a bigger hook, that way my bait doesnt cover my whole hook.

I use GAMAKATSU OCTOPUS Circle, bait stays on better and so does a hooked fish. Only con is it's hard to get them out of a hooked fish.
