Without the numbers readily at hand....maybe 34007....I just use allot of the standard mustard tinned jig hooks from 5 to 8 sometimes 9/0. Sometimes I do the stainless with the brass eye if a don't want to have a rusty hook bleed on the bucktail after allot of use.

I agree sometimes the bendy feeling is sceptical but sometimes harder hooks just break. I think if your drag is reasonably set it isn't an issue.
