Why downsize the hooks w/VMC's?

hey i was only translating...

i never pay attention to the hook size #'s.. i go by eye.

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...
