I have almost completely switched over to small jigs instead of plain hooks.
It's almost impossible for the fish to take a jig so deep you can't remove it.
I use the gold light wire Aberdeen hooks. I have eagle claw ones. I like that they have a longer shank and have had good luck with them

I use small jigs with #10 or 12 hooks.
I don’t think I even have any hooks. As Disco mentioned.......I just use jig heads......if I decide to use live bait......which is extremely rare. I use .5 gram jig heads all the way up to 3 gram in 1/2 gram increments. I have them in hook sized #10......#8.......#6.........#4.

The 1/64 oz trout magnet is a great bait. 1/32 oz jigs work well, also.Quote:

Tru-turn or Popeye jig
True turn . Was not sure they still made them . Bought these 20 yrs. ago in bulk .
You can insert a pencil or small twig into the fish's mouth all the way down until it stops at the throat.Next hold the line tight to the pencil with your thumb, and spin the fish around 5 or 6 times.The line will wrap around the pencil and pull free from the fish.Quote:

They have the EC rotating hooks at my Walmart, but not always in stock. I prefer the #6 size for bream..
eagle claw true turn in a size 8
#4 Eagle Claw or TrueTurn
My favorite is the #7 Eagle claw. Perfect size I feel.
And I also like truturn #8.
#6 for kids. Gills are less likely to completely swallow. Kids don’t always pay attention to the bite and they have it for longer sometimes.
