Really depends on where and how you fish. Where and how I fish you will not use a big hook and get bites and you will stay hung up. I use 4 an 6 most of the time and I catch plenty of big fish even big cats and bass. I've landed 20lb cats on a #6 hook and 4lb line. Had a friend land a 40lb blue cat in the same line and jig hook 30min to get to the boat he followed it will the trolling motor for around a mile so don't doubt the smaller hooks.
