They work great for cut, dead or live bait. good luck! =-1&partNumber=73771&hvarTarget=search&cmCat=SearchResults Try a ‘Kahle’ or ‘Croaker’ style hook, it’s similar to a circle hook but it has a wider gap.

I've caught a lot of speckled trout on these things. What are you targeting? Use smaller cutbait! The aim is for them to eat the whole thing, not nibble it off piece by piece. Unless you're going for cobia or tripletail or something like that, I would stick to about 1x1 at the maximum. For the big guys, though, use whole shrimp, live or dead, or a jig you like.

A nice 1/0 circle hook is almost 90% effective most of the time. Remember to not "strike" when using circle hooks. You would want to quickly "reel" and slowly raise your rod only. Good luck!

The size hook I use is 2/0. And I also promote the use of circle hooks. I rarely miss more than 3 bites in a row. Hope that helped ?
