I was in Tackle Warehouse last weekend and did a double take when I saw 6/0 Gamakatsu Superline EWG's. If you fish big plastic baits these hooks look sweet for it. Just a heads up since I didn't know they had 6/0 until recently.

I'm also looking for a good recommendation on split rings. I need some big split rings for my hardbaits and I want ones that are bulletproof and will not give way with 30lb test. It seems like there's small sized strong ones, but not a lot of larger sized, extra strong ones. Any info on that would be appreciated.

Cool - Nico said the same thing so I just ordered a bunch.

GYCB has an http://yamamoto.baits.com/cgi-bin/order/59-5?2f3dQ8BJ;;141 8/0 as well as a 5/0 EWG hook.

Thanks for the info Henry. The Bettencourt Baits Assassin uses those triple split rings and they do seem very solid.

I wound up pulling a retarded move and getting size 6 and 7 of the steel ones from Jann's Netcraft. I didn't pick up on the fact that they didn't say H next to them, so they were just regular swivels x( They were too big for all my baits too except 12". I think I'm going to just wait until I see some good ones in a shop somewhere...
