Huh? I'm not getting this. What size VMC's on the bombers? 1,2,3? 2 1/0?
I'm confused. |

Bassmaster confuses lots of people 
i think he means size one hooks and you can use one or two, meaning you could remove the belly hook and just leave a front hook and a tail hook. |

1 or 1/0 seem small on a long A magnum. I think they match up pretty well w/Mustad 2/0 or 3/0 I forget which.
Why downsize the hooks w/VMC's? |

I use 3/0 VMC 4x's on magnum bombers, the 1/0 vs 1 is the smaller ones, use 1 1/0 VMC instead of 2 size 2 hooks on the belly,..

Eben's right. A 1/0 Owner Stinger ST-41 hook is way bigger than a VMC 4X 1/0 (its actually bigger than a 2/0 VMC) -- the VMC 6X hooks are a little bigger than the 4X but weigh alot more -- etc., etc. And that all changes by how large the split ring is. 
There's no universal size chart -- go by eye & weight... |
