I keep my hook selection really simple. I use 3/0 wide gap worm hooks for 5" or bigger and all of my larger worms soft plastic frogs, 6" lizards etc. The wide gap is just large enough for those 7" guys. I use a 1/0 offset worm hook for the 4" senko and my smaller plastics. I use Eagle Claw hooks becasue they are cheap and easily available at Walmart and I've never had a problem with them. And I always smash the barb down in case I gut hook anything.
