octopus 2/0 and 3/0 for wacky rig.

5/0 wide gap worm hook texas style.

I usually go with owner hooks but with the octopus I will also used mustads.

Gamagatsu 4/0 Wide Gap Hook for the texas rig.

Texas rigged would be my choice since the majority of time for me to use a senko would be inside of the weeds.

Gamakatsu...Owner..Wide gap for texas.Don't use sub-par hooks or you will face disappointment especially if you hook into nice sized fish.

 

For wacky rigging, I saw these green hooks made by owner that looked pretty interesting! They had a weed guard on each side of the hook.

I think those "good" hooks for Senkos are a waste of money. For Texas I use Wal-Mart 3/0 EWG hooks that cost about .30 cents each instead of $1.25 a piece. Wacky worms fish nicely on red Mustad 1/0 or 2/0 weedless hooks. They are also a wide gap type of bend and can be found at Wal-Mart and CTC. for about .60 cents each. I have caught lots of 5 and 6 pound Bass on these hooks and have never lost anything because of hook failure.

Gamakatsu 2/o 3/o texas rigged

Texas Rigged = Gamakatsu Skip Gap Hook (3/o to 5/o)

 

wacky = octopus (2/0 and 3/0)

for wacky rig, i use a size 1 or 1/O eagle claw circle hook. for texas rig i use a 4/O or 5/O wide gap

Keep in mind that when Trigging, the bigger hook you use, the less wiggle you will get on the fall. Most of the time I use an Owner 1/0 Wide gap. It's short, but with a really wide gap that still gets good hookups. I will only go to a 3/0 or bigger if I feel the fish are not taking the whole bait into their mouth.
