I use mostly 4/0-5/0 hooks on my pencils.they are bigger than most so perhaps 3/0-4/0 will work.NO SPLITRINGS. Cut em an bend them to the sides like the old mustads.use a good pair of needle nose vise grips so the pliers don't slip promoting rust.The VMC's will bend back an forth several times before breaking so they will be ok.just do it once though.make the back loop large an a little long so the hook wil lie flat against the body on the cast.this will eliminate wobble an get u better distance.Spin some epoxy around it so it don't worm loose an have to be rewired.I tried the whole split ring thing on the pencils an was gettin killed tilll i figured it out it don't seem like much but trust me on this.In Montauk when they are feedin on 1 inch baits they eat pencils like mad.When that thing is floppin around in the water do u think the size really makes a difference.I would say most times No.but what do i know.
