Howard - Most people are using 6/0 or 7/0 Octopus hooks for the gulp teaser while others are 7/0, 8/0 or even 9/0.

Some lively discussion on that here http://www.njfishing.com/forums/show...ht=Fluke+hooks

One time last year I decided to give the fresh water rubber worm hooks a try and they seemed to work. Since they are longer, they kept the hook point further down on the gulp tail to avoid short strikes and the bend at the top seemed to help keep the gulp from sliding down on the hook.

Wondering if anyone else has tried it...
