Hook Size for TC-100s?

Chromaflage · 08-19-2007, 12:12 PM

I was tying up some new clones yesterday. I pulled out some size 21 and 22 double hooks. I'm thinking that they are too big for the jig size. I'd think 7/0 would be good. What do you guys use for TC-100 size clones?

Been using the size 22's and they have worked fine - thought about using a smaller hook, but have not seen the need for troll gear

6/0 to 7/0 doubles are about right, I 've also used 4/0 to 5/0 trebles, as well as 7/0 to 8/0 Siwash, & Octopus. Bigger hooks work, but just don't look right. like any lure, match hook size to the lure.

i run a 8/0 gami siwash. they seem to stay sharp and the number of fish i lose seemed to go down dramatically vs. the traditional double hook. for me they have been a lot more effective AND cheaper. in tuna fishing thats the best of both worlds!
