lostinthewoods Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Hello all! I purchased some Eagle Claw Laser Sharp multi color hooks at WalMart the other day out of the mark down ben. I beleive they are size 4. I held them up to some store bought harnesses that I have and the hook is just about the same size. The shank on the store bought hook is longer and the hook may be a TINY bit deeper at the trough. Other than that they are the same. Do you think it would be OK to try these hooks on my harnesses? I just don't want to waste my time tying them up and not be able to catch any fish cause the hooks too small. Thanks, lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol_grayfeather Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I run 4's... sometimes 6's on my crawler rigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairjig Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I use 2s and 4s on my harness. You will be alright. Won't be long now. GOOD LUCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayooper Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I agree with the above. I use 4's on mine with a 6 trailer. What do you guys think about using baitholder hooks on harnesses? I have had many customers request them for both hooks on a two hook harness. I always hate making those because I think the barbs will nick the line to the trailer hook. Thoughts?

Pickerel Pete Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 We use #4 Bait Holder Hooks on most of the ones we make. Do use 12# Steelon wire to tie them. Barbs are not a problem with the steelon. Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
