Size 2 for a bunch of maddies for flounders and bass. When using blow or black lug I always use a pennel rig and either make a "worm sausage " or just hook them on the top hook and bait elastic to secure them. Almost impossible to thread them on the hook like you would using a "J" hook without bursting them. Ideal for peeler crab as well and also any fishy baits. The important factor is making sure the point is exposed. I have been looking at different types of knots and it seems for them to work best you should either snell them or use a perfection loop? I have looked at videos on You Tube and can't get my head or fingers around the perfection loop but I find snelling quite easy. Mostly American videos and they make a strong case for these types of knots as it allows the hook to turn as the fish takes the bait. The other important factor is not to strike but just point the rod in the direction of the fish and tighten up. What type of knots have you guys found best ?</blockquote>
