Rated 5 out of 5 by Pete4 Excellent Hooks
Purchase hooks each year to replace old ones. Work very well, remain sharp throughout the season. The only reason I need replacement hooks is because I have not figured out how to remove hooks from logs, stumps, or rocks when hooked. Very strong hooks, 12lb test line breaks before hook.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bassgal As good as anything out there
I have been using BPS hooks for a while now and can't find anything to complain about in their performance. I'm on a budget, so any time I can find a product that will perform well and at a reasonable cost I am happy.

A:
For a 3-4 inch worm I would recommend a 3/0 hook, that will give you the best hook-a-bility!!
A:
3 0I rarely go below 3 for bass and if you're Texas rigging it then that's what I use
If wacky or just going through the nose I'd go bigger
May be just me but I have bad luck with setting small hooks
Top 100 Contributor
A:
The hook size is determined in my opinion by two key factors. The weight/size of the hook and how the fish are striking. If I use a short worm I make a rule to try and use a hook that is at least half the worm length. The only time I change that rule is if I want to use a lighter hook to reduce rate of fall. As a rule remmber that the hook diameter is also important if you are targeting bigger fish. You dont want too small a hook that it will bend and reduce your hook ups.Details:
I use Gama's EWG and I'm looking for a cheaper option. I'm rather new to this type of fishing and I was wondering how similar the shape of the hooks are between these and Gama's EWG. Any feedback is appreciated.Answers
A:
I used Gama hooks for years and then switched to BPS XPS Hooks. I have ran a guide service for 26 years and it is imperative that hooks perform well. BPS XPS Hooks are strong and very sharp, the price point is fantastic!! I highly recommend these hooks.A:
Pretty much the same. I actually just recently switched from Gamas EWG too and i have not noticed any dropoff in hooksets and they are just as durable I believe. They also dont hurt in the wallet like Gamakatsu does.A:
These hooks are of almost equal quality for less. The gap isn't quite as wide if you're using a fatter bait like the rage hog for pitching and flipping but are great with senkos.Answers
A:
Haven't really found the need to.A:
no need to sharpen , will only make hook less sharpAnswers
A:
1/0 hooks are larger and stronger for use with plastic baits.A:
I can't give you cm, because sizes vary for all hooks. If that's what you were looking for, I am sorry, and the following answer may seem elementary for your.The difference between hook sizes, I can tell you.hooks
Basically 1 hooks are smaller then 1/0 (pronounced one ought.)
Hook sizes go like this, A hgih number (without the /0) is the smallest. I think a size twenty eight is the smallest. As the numbers get smaller, the hooks get larger. A size 14 hook is bigger then a 28 but smaller then a 10. Then, with 1 being the hook without an /0 it goes to 1/0 and then proceeds normally with hook sizes corresponding to number sizes. So a 1/0 hook is bigger then a 1 hook but smaller then a 2/0 hook.
Easiest way to think of it is think of hooks without the /0 as being negative numbers and hooks with /0 being positive numbers, if that makes sense.
(there is no hook size 0
Answers
A:
I've found the bigger the better for staying imbedded in the bait and lessening hangups.I use only the #4 and #5's. But admittedly we use large baits on Okeechobee.
A:
Size 1-1/0 makes sense
Top 100 Contributor
A:
I use a 3/0 hook, they're just about the perfect size to fit a 3.5 inch tube
Top 500 Contributor
A:
use a 3/0 for that size tubeAnswers
A:
A 3/0 is the perfect size for a 7 inch worm. If you are using a 7 inch senko you can move up to a 5/0. A lot of it depends on the bait profile also, a skinny mister twister phenom worm needs a 2/0 or 3/0 hook., but the bass pro stick-o-bait 7 inch senko can be used with up to a 5/0.

A:
i would use a 4/0 or a 5/0 for a 7 inch wormA:
3/0 EWG -- Yes#3 -- No, a #3 is a baitholder hook. Are you confusing your numbers?
A:
it would work but i'd get biggerDetails:
What is the average color to use?Black
Chrome or
Red
Reason would be helpful also..
Answers
A:
I have used both colors with the same results. However, I have read that red signifies wounded prey in the eyes of a Bass. But, as I said, red has not brought in more fish than black. Good luck!A:
Don't know why but I catch way less fish on the red. Also the red wears off rather quickly leaving a brass color which I really don't like. Go with black.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
it all has to do with the color of baitfish in your fishin hole
Top 500 Contributor
A:
I use the black nickel or chrome finish in clear water but if you're looking to immitate the look of wounded prey then the red will add that touch of red flash that some folk's/fish desire! I generally use the black nickel.A:
BLACK CHROME IS MORE WIDELY USED THAN THE RED . AND POSSIBLY OUT SELLS TH RED HOOK ...100 TIMES OVER. ENJOY YOUR FISHING.Details:
and, if it is, cna anyone give me recommendations on non-offset hooks?Thaks,
