PB,
The 3/0 will work fine, thast the size I usually use on tubes, but I use EWG hooks so the tube does not wad up in the curve of the hook and prevent a deep hookset. JackL |

You could even try a dart head stuffed into the tube. It's not weedless but it works.

what JackL said. I gotta add something though. When you put the hook back through the tube to skin hook the point, dont put ti through the center put it through towards one side or the other. This will really keep the tube from wadding up on the hook.

Re: hook size for a 3.5 inch tube
IL,
I used to do that with smaller hooks, but the tube then ran a little off center and twisted my line. Do you have this problem, or was I doing something wrong? Since I have gone to a 3/0 EWG hook, ran straight thru the tube and skin hooked, the hook works somewhat like a rudder and stopped the line twist. JackL |

I use a 3/0 extra-wide-gap with a 3.5" tube and 4/0 for a 4".
