I know a lot of guys like to use gamis and octopus hooks. I always use size 3 Virginia hooks and I snell them with 40lb straight leader.

Re: Tog Hook and Size
 

Someone gave me a box of Mustad Big Gun 2/0 hooks to try. Anyone ever use them? Don't think i'm a fan of the straight shank for snelling.

(yes this pic of 4/0, just for ref)

I usually use 4/0 gami with green crabs and virigina #3 with white leggers, no real reason that's just what I use!

Excellent Hook super strong..

Re: Tog Hook and Size
 

Mustad Big Gun are tops and very sharp. The Gamis are good but they will bend if you get hung up. Never had that problem with the big gun. Hard to find the Big gun hooks at local tackle shops ( really don't know why ).

Probably cause of the cost. Looking online they aren't cheap! Def more money then the Octos.

5/0 octopus hooks for me .
