While we're on the subject of eel hooks, I can't say that bigger is always better. I have yet to find a better live eel hook than this (in terms of bang for buck)...a stinky Mustad 94150 6/0 tuna hook.
It's not the size of this hook that I like ... it's the BARB.
Keeps the eel on much better than some of the more expensive Gamakatsus I used to use (I hate the Octopus for eeling).

p.s. they rust ... which can be a good thing or a bad thing...
