Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

We use (#8 Cricket Hooks). Some Wal-Marts carry them.
These have long shanks. Also use them for B-moth.
We aren't experts but these work best for us. Try them, I think you will like them.

#8 long shank cricket hook
I use these with any bait for bream, 'maggies or spikes' and lately berkleys 'honey worm' are my favorites and they are murder on any panfish, you will be amaized at the size fish these small hooks will hold
all these fish were caught on #8's
