3/0 4/0 5/0 Hooks For Blackfish?
So after the 30lb PowerPro discussion, I figured we were due for another. What type and size hooks do you guys recommend for Blackfish and why? Also what rigs do you use most and why? I was using 5/0 Gami's over the weekend for the first time and I thought they were a little too big. I saw guys using anything from 3/0 to 5/0. Also, why aren't guys using the old tried and true blue virginia style hooks anymore?

Re: 3/0 4/0 5/0 Hooks For Blackfish?
all those hook sizes are fine depends on what size bait im using
belmar rig bc its so easy and fast even when its very cold and i can pretie 20 snells quickly the night before i don't use virginia's because they arent as sharp out of the box and i'm too lazy to do it myself but they are fine |

While I,m new to tog fishing, I prefer 3/0 gami,s. Last week all I had was 2/0 and i landed a 14 pounder and a few other big fish.

Do you guys like a short or long leader? I seem to prefer about a 12" leader but I noticed some guys were using like a 6" leader and had baits almost touching their sinkers. |

I use a 10 to 12" 50'snelled fluoro leader, hook is about 4" above sinker.

Can't wait for another shot at Tog, going to try both 4/0 and 5/0 rigs.

I use either a 3/0 or 4/0 Gami octopus hook on a 12" to 14" section of flourocarbon leader attached a few inches above the sinker and have had good results, sometimes throw another hook on the leader as a slider

Do you all use regular or offset hooks

Offset hooks.
