I have been using an Eagle claw gold aberdeen since I was old enough to bait a hook. #1 - 1/0 - 2/0 mostly. Unfortunately, I hear Eagle claw is only making them in light wire now.... not happy at all!
What is your favorite type/brand and size hook for minnow fishing? I came across some Gamakatsu "shiner" hooks in academy and am debating on whether or not to try them. In the past I have used Aberdeen hooks only, but am all for better tackle if it worth the extra $$$.

Feelay,
That is exactly what I have been using, except the biggest was #1. I just started spiderrigging and want to run a couple minnow rigs. Didn't know if there was a hook out there a little better for setting the hook.

Have caught many tens of thousands of fish on them. Don't see any reason to change.

Eagle claw gold Aberdeen in size 1. I use both the snelled and loose packs depending on the rig I am using. I don't see any reason to change at this point, they're cheap and work well.
I pretty much always use #2
#2 for me also. I like the gold litewire in the brush that I fish.
