using the same ones here jim either that or the 6/0, I actually had one where I snapped the barb off on the hookset, clean break all the way thorugh.

Scored a nice bunch of live bait style hooks from my buddy chris so I'll see how those turn out.

Domination takes full concentration..

Depends on the size of the eel... on average, 4/0 gami is big enough to land the biggest bass in the sea.... for true snakes.. over 18" I'll go as big as 6/0... the bigger the hook, the harder it is to set... always use the smallest hook you can get away with....

I use mostly use gami live bait 6/0 sometimes I'll go with the octopus I'v tryed others like owner,daichi,and the mustad L/B but I llike the gami's the best.I'am no longer into using circles my deep hook ratio is almost the same without them.
