Thread: Surf casting rig

5/0 nah. I rather 3/0-4/0 4/0 is getting a bit big for me liking. But we dont have much fish here so I rather have smaller hooks and get as much as possible. We had a fishing comp last year 121 rods was under 30 fish easy.

4/0 is the smallest in my tackle box toby I use recurve/mutsu style hooks and the 4/0 and 5/0 are the only ones I use I do have bigger but only if fishing from a boat or after kingfish and using a livebait. I refuse to use 3/0, suicide hooks etc as I prefer to lip hook than gill or gut hook like you can risk getting with smaller hooks and suicide or octopus style hooks..
