Greyphase Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I fish for stream smallmouth, rockbass, & sunfish using small plastics that I pour. Was getting low on what I thought was No. 4 Gamakatsu extra wide gap hooks so I ordered some. Just got them today and found out that they are an 1/8" longer from the eye to the bend (old ones are 1 1/16" new ones are 1 3/16" ). The new ones are the same size as the No. 1 XPS hooks I ordered from Bass Pro. Does anyone know of a hook manufacturer that makes a small wide gap hook? Thanks in advance.

woodsac Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 There is no industry standard for hook sizes The size of the hook is based on the gap. You might wanna try #4 Owner Rig N Hooks. I don't use hooks that small. But, I think the Owner's are a little bit shorter in length than the Gammies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I use the #4 Owner Rig-N-Hook when I need to go small. I split shot 3" Magic Worm Micro Weenies w/ 4# Test w/ them in ultra clear lakes. It is a nice small hook w/ a good bite. It is also pretty light so it wont mess w/ the action of the bait. Mr B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
