    Unhappy Looking For larger Crappie Hooks!


    I cannot seem to find any hooks like I'd like to use for crappie fishing. I am wanting some bronze Eagle Claw wire aberdeen hooks (not the gold ones) in size 2/0 or preferrably some wire aberdeen tru turn hooks in size 2/0. The only tru turn hooks I can find in this size are stronger hooks looking more suitable for catfishing or somelike that. Anybody using either of these wire hooks in this size?

    I use #1 aberdeen hooks but I think this is what you are looking for. Page down to the 860ZS model. http://www.truturnhooks.com/cgi-bin/tti_store/web_store.cgi?product=truturn_hooks&cart_id=700385 9_31866$cart_id

    That's exactly what I'm looking for. I have only used the tru turn hooks that are smaller....#1's I believe,and have had alot of problems with the fish swallowing the hooks. My normal hook size has always been 2/0 in the straight hooks (Eagle Claw brands) that were accessible in bronze or blue, but now all I can find locally in the wire hooks in 2/0 are the gold ones (which might not make a difference to the fish but I dont like 'em). The price of those hooks on the site you gave me are pricey along with the shipping charges. Oh well, maybe I can keep looking and run across something I wanna try. Thanks for your help IBNFSHN.
