Very true!

Best I remember from left to right 1/64 #6, 2 packs of 1/32 #6, 1/16 #4, 1/8 #2 all sickle hooks.

I think one pack of the 1/32 were #4 hook maybe.

So what are your favorite colors Dave? lol
Im about to the point i could use just one, pink.

I use them all. Personally my favorite color is bright green but I think fish like chartreuse better. I actually use a lot of blues and grays now. Pink hasn't worked as good for me but could be I don't give it a long enough try.

Might be different places with different conditions?
I pretty much go to the same place every time, mainly because im usually the only one there, to small for the Bass guys to air out the big rigs, has no dock and the ramp is bad.
Pink and monkey milk usually gets it done, and when it stops i just go home. lol

I use sidearm hook sets all the time.

Been catching a lot of trout this week with a sidearm hook set.

Them too. Been catching gills and catfish along with the trout, all on a #6 or #8 hook.

all on a #6 or #8 hook

...and a sidearm hook set. I'm talking rod horizontal to the surface.
