If you like to snell your hooks try the Mustad 92553BL in size 6/0. To me just as good as the Gama Octopus at about half the price.

If your going to direct tie with a clinch, palomar or such then the 94150 in size 6/0. Normally use this hook but make sure you take the time to sharpen it.

If you want to try a circle hook than go with the Eagle Claw L2004EL non-offset ring lug, in size 7/0. Only wait a second or two on the pick up and than give a steady pull back until you are on. If you pull it out let it drop, they will often pick it up again.
