I usually use 5/0 hooks for my hootchie rigs. Here is a link to the same topic a few weeks back. http://forums.outdoorsdirectory.com/...ad.php?t=45806In 2011, the United States military finally starts to enforce the no sodomy rule...

I smoke kings/cohos on two 4/0 gamas tied solid on a 30lb leader. I'm thinking I'll go a little bigger on the hooks this year though as I've used up my box of 4/0 hooks.

The 30# leader is great as it's the heaviest I've found that is still "limp" enough to give the action I'm looking for. The larger 5/6/0 hooks I'm using make releasing small kings a bit easier, and the hooks don't tend to foul in my net as much...

Case,
Have you heard about a 15% reduction in Kings salmon from last year for the sport fleet? I keep hearing about it but I haven't seen it in writing yet. The sport fleet didn't hardly catch any kings last year!

fishing for keeps?
If your going to keep the silvers use 5/0 open eye mustads with a small barrel attached. If your going to release the silvers go to a smaller hook, the smaller hook will do less damage.Providing trips for multilpe species for over 20 yrs
