Largemouth Bass: If you are targeting largemouth bass it is recommended to use a 2/0 to 3/0 size fish hook. You will be using the hooks to cast soft plastics and this size will hold your bait perfectly while providing a tight hook set. Walleye Bass and Red Grouper: When trolling for redfish you can use a 1/0 circle hook to hold your artificial bait. Likewise if you are targeting walleye bass use a double ring hook or an octopus hook. Worm Hooks Worm hooks have a curved section near the eye of the hook that holds the bait in place. As the name suggests these hooks are used to rig worms and other soft baits. Worm hooks are specifically used to fish for largemouth fish such as largemouth bass. A quality worm hook can hold the bait in place. Fish come in different sizes and the hook you choose will determine the fish you catch. For smaller species you need a smaller hook; for larger species you need a larger hook.
