ol monsters.. 2025
I.rar reply :
yep , the bait monkey made me do it. i picked up my first pack of zoom ol monsters. they had a 10 count bag and a 9 count bag. one of them had some indents on the tail while the others didnt. :-?
the ones i grabbed were the 9 count green pumpkin kind with the smooth tail...along with some strike king plastics dicks had on clearance for $.97 a bag.
but yeah , im curious. what size hooks do you guys use with these beasts? 5/0 ewg?
Stagerlee reply :
5/0 seems a bit to big. I think 2/0 - 3/0 would be good.
What type water will you be fishing?
I.rar reply :
2/0 or 3/0 for a 10" worm? :-?
funny you ask what im fishing because i dont even know yet. i went to get my license but im not a NC resident yet , and when i become one , the non-resident license wont work and ill have to pay to get a resident one. it was a bait monkey type thing.
Rob.Atl reply :
Use a 5/0 ewg thats what others told me and thats what i use 
2/0 or 3/0 will be to small for sure

Your kidding right!?! An Ol' Monster needs at least a 5/0 EWG!!!
TheHammer84 reply :
might be able to get away with a 4/0, but definitely a 5/0 is your best bet
Texas10Man reply :
I sometimes use up to a 6/0 or 7/0 OWG by Youvella.

x3 and use a 5/0 if the bait is thicker.Owner offset shank worm hooks get the job done well.
J-B reply :
That is a beast of a worm. Just go all out and tie on a tow hook. 
Seriously though. You will do good with the 5/0 ewg.

X4 and currently ditching gammys for owners
Muddy reply :
I am digging Owners also, I think it was 4Bizzle that I noticed the brand from. Sometimes their wire mil is a bit thick, do they make thinner old style ?
flippin reply :
I use a 6/0ewg but i like a big hook
nickw234 reply :
After readin all this I went out and bougt two bags of these in Plum and Black Emerald and some Gammy 5/0 EWG hooks 8-)

x2 , i only use OWNER OVERSIZED WORM HOOKS in 7/0 , i get so much better hookups with these hooks . i use ole monsters , ss magnums , and of course the best 10'' worm , the Berkeley powerbait powerworm !!!!!
fathom reply :
6/0 owner or gammie ewg superline.
Blues19 reply :
i use a 5/0 gamakatsu offset hook. Sometimes EWG sometimes not, but i two would go 5/0. Looks like they have new 6/0 and 7/0 EWG hooks now, im gonna have to try them.
As for the 9 or 10 pack difference, I have never seen it. maybe it was a typo or something. I know i bought a pack of lake fork ring fries from bass pro that had a magic marker line over where it said 15 pack and they only put 10 or 12 in a pack now. Who knows with these bait companies.

x3, I agree about the Owner's hooks. Not sure about the powerworm being the best 10" worm though
