a little hook advice

[luke11.9]

I am looking to stock up on hooks. can you tell me your favorite for clamming and for drifting live bunker or chunks

[Fishfinder]

For clamming I've been using a #5 Mustad baitholder hook. You can get them in 50 or 100 qty. I think. For drifting chunks or live bunker I like about a #8 Gamakatzu (spelling?) Octopus hook. Last year I tried some circle hooks and they seemed to work pretty well. I'll probably use them this season too. Not sure what size they were but they were non-offset.

[finally]

I use 8/0 Gamakatsu circle hooks for stripers and drum, whether clams or bunker. There are a lot of guys that use 10/0 hooks when fishing bunker heads.

[fmTuna]

I like Mustad or gammy 8/0 or 9/0 for bunk chunks and clams.... 4/0 for eels. Same size in circles if you like 'em.

[HOT GREASE]

I agree with fmTuna - 8 or 9 !
