justintodd1979on 26 Dec 2009 at 10:23 pm 2hey man, a number 3 worm hook is a good all around worm hook. i like the hooks that come with the weights already built onto them. you dont have to put a bullet weight on your line and with the weight on the hook, i think that it gives a more realistic movement to the worm. man i hope that helps you out a bit good luck good fishin be safe and remember to share the experience

but for the life of me, why aren’t you looking to catch the 10 pounders?
