What kind of hooks are you guys using in the FL rivers? My local bait shop insisted on me using thick gauged circle hooks. Never landed one on those. They are all about bass fishing anyway. Kind of looked at me funny when I said I cat fished. Tried treble hooks and landed one. Meanwhile I was using big hooks too. Then I downsized to a 2/0 regular hook (eagle claw) Thin wire. And my hook up ratio went from near nil to about close to 90%. Now thats an important piece of tackle right there, LOL! Because the best poles and lines don't mean squat if you can't hook em
The only down fall to the wire hook is when you grab it with your pliers and wrench on it, it will snap the hook in 1/2. So use your hands when you can. Thats what I use, what do you guys use?
