#2, #2, #2.2.2.

[ChuckyBoy]

What Earl said, #2s and #4s.

I use gold eagle claw #2s to make my trolling heads and gold eagle claw #4s to make my my dock shooting heads.

I've tried all the colored hooks and sickle hooks but I've just never noticed a difference in catch rates from one to the next. Just a matter of personal preference IMO.

I think there is very little difference in catch rats between hook sizes. My partner uses 2s for dock shootin and I use 4s and we cant tell a difference. Some guys I know that do extremely well in all the tourneys at talquin only troll #4s and #6s while most others probably only troll #2s.
