I was once a firm believer in 4/0 hooks for eels. then I went to 6/0 and now I like 8/0. maybe its cause I can see the hole in the eye better but i think its just responding to success.

Anyway , looking for thopughts and opinions on hooks and where you think you might go too big on a hook.

Maybe you use bigger hooks hopeing to catch a big giant fish?

I use 8/0 hooks pogie chunkin', they work
