2 heavy wire Mustad hooks u can use for the rubber riggin are #9175 tinned or 9174 bronze an 94150 bronzed only.I would guess u have the 9175 series it's a short shank O'shaughnessy or all purpose hook.It's just like the 94150 but a little shorter.It's a excellent hook u won't bend on a striper.U got to sharpen em up tho.I use a bastard file.The tinned ones will have a lot of material to remove to sharpen em.Some like to use the bronzed ones so they will rust out quickly if left in a striper.I prefer the tinned they will also rust out but not as quickly.Its the hook we always used for riggin eels or live lining bunker. before the Gami's came about.they are cheap In bronze 7/0 should go around 10.00-12.00 for a hundred so they are a use an disguard hook.I would probably go 7/0 in the rear an 8/0 in the front.

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
