For baits you want to flutter down with more action, use lighter wire hooks and take advantage of the following sizing guidance: The fatter a bait is for its length, the more likely it will suit an EWG style (long, thin baits work great with straight shank worm hooks) For standard size craw/paddle-style creature baits, EWG hooks in the 3/0 to 4/0 range will be good choices For 6" finesse worms and regular senkos try 3/0 straight shank worm hooks For 7-8" worms go with 4/0 straight shank worm hooks Baits bigger than those already covered might need up to a 5/0 straight shank hook for long, thin baits and up to 5/0 EWG for flipping monster, fat baits into heavy cover Pro Tip: if your hook brand/model doesn't have the point laying perfectly flat in line with the bait, use pliers to bend it out just the right amount to create a perfect weedless bait with great fish-hooking performance
