I remember putting 6/0 hooks in some molds thinkin the where pretty big.Now I wish I could find 94185's in 9/0 for the jigs I throw today I 've gone as far as to fashion a sinker eylet in the mold with a 3407 9/0. I just think that a bigger hook has a better chance of snaggin some piece of the mouth on the way out of a closed stripers maw.with the new braids i think u feel the fish alot sooner than with the mono.So by the time He feels the hook I'mm settin up.I think thats one part.I don't know if its me I think older hooks where alot stronger than they are today.so I feel I have to go up in size to increase the strenght.Another by product of braid fishing.
