I know a lot of guys like to use gamis and octopus hooks. I always use size 3 Virginia hooks and I snell them with 40lb straight leader.

Someone gave me a box of Mustad Big Gun 2/0 hooks to try. Anyone ever use them? Don't think i'm a fan of the straight shank for snelling.

(yes this pic of 4/0, just for ref)

I usually use 4/0 gami with green crabs and virigina #3 with white leggers, no real reason that's just what I use!
