types of hooks for texas rigging

[bass kicker]

what type of hook do you use for texas rigging soft plastic baits

straight shank or offset

[JB]

I used to fish a aberdine style hook for plastics , but many years ago I switched to gammy 3/0 offset

[bassdreamer]

i also use the gammy 3/o hook

[Hef]

Gammy 3/0 EWG for my worms and Gammy G-lock for my tubes (I love them G-locks)

i use eagle claw lazer sharp offset 3/0 hooks and they work great.for $4, you can get 25 of them compared to 10 gammys.i have used gammys but i like the lazer sharps because not only are they cheap,they are heavy wire and very sharp!

I use 3/0 offset with senkos, and 1/0 offset with something smaller like roboworm or keeper

[betursweetbass]

I use a varitey of hooks, I do like Owner's (pricy), and Gamakatsu's, and I also have found a brand called texposer that is sorta rectangular, they work well too. Recently, I have used some Excaliber hooks and I like them too. I usually use 1/0 thru 3/0 for just about all my plastic baits. Most of the time I use EWG, but now and then I'll use a standard offset. Another hook I use sometimes is from Ultra Point.

4 inch finesse worms......1 or 2 Gammy
6 inch worms, senko type lures, snakes, etc.....2/0 XPS gammy type
horny toad, 4/0 round bend gammy
bubby rigging tubes and larger grubs, 2/0 Owner Rigging Hooks

Owner "J" 3-6 go big or go home!

I down size some but not often. I do like the Owner large gage wire, for those power hook sets, heheh

Same here. For bulky baits like a Super Hog, Brush Hog, or Sweet Beaver I use an EWG hook but for worms I use a Tru-Turn. For weightless baits-flukes, Tiki Sticks, etc. I use a offset shank worm hook.

[lizardsrule]

EWG, Gammy SUperline or Owner, anywhere from a "Drop Shot" hook to a 5/0 I vary it depending on weight, fall rate, and bait size. And you can take that to the bank lol.

man i must be using big hooks... for anything over 6" (Power Worms 7", large senkos 7") i use a 5/0 ewg hook! I think i get much better hook up ratios... espicially during the spawn!
