What size hooks do you guy's/girl's use with 2" baits, I was using a #4 but it seems to be alittle small, any advice would be great:D

I use a #2 red sickle hook on both 1/16 and 1/8 oz heads.

Been using a #6 for years and years.

Either a #2 or #1 if you wanted a little more length

1/16#4, 1/8#2 regardless of bait size,works for me.

bugman fixed me with some #2 Gamakatsu and, these jig heads are the Bomb, reguardless of bait size as well.

No.6 long shank. Thin wire. You want a hook that has no weight to impede the action of the minnow, plus they are easy to straighten out when snagged.

I like #2 sickle for them.

What about using a #4 on a 1/32 head?
