I use the 4/0 4x strong VMCs. You could go with either 3/0 or 4/0 depending on your preference. With Mustads I'd go with the bigger size. The VMCs have a shorter shank than Mustads, so the overall profile of a 4/0 VMC is shorter than a 3/0 Mustad.

You could also use a Siwash single on the tail---something like a 6/0 or 7/0. Stay away from the very brittle Mustad stainless Siwash.
