Guess I am the only one that still goes old school with Mustad 4011e size 4 Virginia style hook

Gami 3/0 or 4/0 octopus. I prefer a slightly smaller hook as I think it's easier to hook the crab while hiding the hook. Would use 5/0 only if I was hog hunting. Either way you fish with what your confident in. Always a head game with blackfish;-)
