Don't fix what ain't broke.

I like the Red Tru Turn in size 1, but like PPG said if it ain't broke don't fix it. There is probably a number of pages written on this subject somewhere but I would use whatever you are most confident in. Just my opinion.
Pawpaw Gene and Skip. Thanks I think I will just stick with what I’ve been using. Hey Skip where ya been?Quote:

I use either a size 1 or 2. Why do you ask? Do you think you're missing fish?

I've been wareing out the oxbow and made a few trips to Dubison. This makes my 21st trip on my 6 gal fuel tank. I think I loose more fuel to evaporation than I burn the only time I start my 25 hp Yahama is to put the boat on the trailer. You gotta love pulling cranks at both locations I start pulling from the ramp. When the rains start and the river starts to rise I'll come back and visit.
I use a size 1 and sometimes bigger a 1/0 If its working...stay with it. I like big hooks because it get them in the roof of the mouth most of the time instead of the lips ...lose less fish that way.
If I was spider rigging I wouldn't go smaller than 1. If I was cork fishing I may step back to a 2

I’ve had someone tell me that my hooks are to big and my speed is to fast. I’m catching fish though. I think I need to just stop second guessing myself and do my own thing. Hey Chag. Have you ever tried trolling Saline Lake? I thought I might give it a try in the channel.Quote:

That’s exactly what I thought. In the roof of the mouth. Thanks.Quote:

Big mouth, big hook!
X2 on the 1 or 1/0
I agree with skip. Red true turn size 1 is my choice.Quote:

I fished 2s a lot of years. I now use 1/0 sickle and loose less fish.
Shiner fishing, I use a size 1 just like you. Now if I'm jig fishing, I'll use a 4 or sometimes even a size 6 if its a hand tied jig. But use what works for you.
