    If you like big hooks and want to catch some bone when you set the hook instead of a paper thin mouth, go with
    1/8th - #1
    1/16th - #2
    1/32nd - #4

    If you like smaller hooks, go with one size smaller,
    1/8th - #2
    1/16th - #4
    1/32nd - #6

    At least that's what I do. Some people like smaller hooks on the bigger heads too, I just try to keep them in proportion. Hope that helped...

    Default i like smaller hooks

    I would probably go with #4 for 1/16 -1/8 then a batch of 1/32 and some 1/16 with #8s. I also always use small ice jigs on #12s and even carry some small #20 fly hooks, I feel the smaller hooks really help with gills.
