    What size hooks do you all run for 2-4# cats? I have always targeted big flathead with 4/0 & 5/0 hooks. Looking to just fill the freezer this year. Would these hooks be too big?

    I really like the eagle claw L198 in 2/0 and 3/0, it’s a lighter wire circle hook and it has a big eye if your using twine for your drops also Todd tackle in Thomson had some for a pretty good price last summer if you don’t want to order. I also use Mustad 34009 j hooks in size 1 and 1/0 but as I slowly use them up I will be replacing them with the L198, they work good but I think I get better hook ups with the circles.
