Help finding a hook

Rebbasser · 03-01-06, 08:24 PM

Need some help, fellas.

I ordered some Tiki Shadick soft jerkbaits whish are 9" long-BIG baits. They look like a Super Fluke on steroids except for one thing: They are solid-no hook groove like you get on a Super Fluke. So, I need a BIG EWG hook to fish them. The biggest I have is a 5/0,and that ain't going to cut it. Anybody know where I can find a 6/0 or 7/0 EWG hook?

Jeez, your BAITS are bigger than my BASS.

Marty, they didn't look so big on the website-these things look like a swimbait!

Reb, what kind and size did you end up finding that will work?

The hooks that come with the 9" Slug-gos might work for something like this.

bassguy, Owner oversize hooks-7/0 and 11/0. Tackle Warehouse has them.

Rebbasser, I was going to tell you that Owner oversized worm hooks are the way to go. I use them with the 10" culprits I fish, not because of the bulk of the worm , but the bulk of the bucketmouths I occasionally catch on them.If I need them here in NY , You definately need them in Texas.
