It means that a size 4 all the way through a size 2/0 will fit in that cavity in the specific style of hook. All sizes between and including the numbers.

I made some “craw” colored neds last summer using root beer dye with black and red flake. Thought it turned out pretty good. Add a little red highlight powder for grins and it made it look more like that very orange craw color with some shimmer to it. The highlight baits are on the right in this pic.

I make wood wake baits mostly about 7" finished length. I use stainless steel wire from McMaster Carr that I buy in a spool that is 1/4 lb. in either 0.052 or 0.062. Mostly 0.062" for a 7 inch wake bait. Then I twist it into a hook or line tie. I do this because there is much more holding power with a twisted wire hangar that with the screw eyes. I drill my holes for a snug slip fit and all the way through the wood. Then I fill the hole with D2T until it comes out the other side and put my finger over the other side while I push the hanger into place that way I am sure I have 100% wood, wire, and epoxy. On holes that don't naturally exit the bait, like line tie, I drill a vent hole down from the top to accomplish the same thing. I find that if I use the 0.092" screw eyes with the size hooks and split rings I want to use, it is easy to over stretch the split ring over the 092 size wire. I do keep 0.092 screw eyes in stock though in 2" and 2-1/2" and now I use them for wood chopper type baits so I have plenty of hold even after holding the big chopper blades.
