Hooks for Tube Bait Jig Head

[bigfoot17]

I purchased two Do-It tapered jig head molds (tube bait), one with a 60 degree eye and another with a 90 degree eye. I prefer using single dipped 3.5” tubes most of the time and I find that I don’t like using too long of a shank or too thick of a gauge wire hook. So I was wondering what some people suggest as far as brand and size. I would prefer to stay more with a 2/0 hook or maybe smaller. Thank you in advance.

I really like using an Owner 5318 for smaller jig heads.

Mustad 32729 BN is what I use.

For the 90 degree tapered tube jig I like 3 hooks specifically. I prefer the lighter wire hooks as I use tube jigs with no more than 8lb line and a medium power spinning rod. I do fish T-rigged tubes for largemouth on heavier tackle but for me a tube with a jig head is a smallmouth finesse bait. That said, if I'm fishing areas that I'm not going to lose too many jigs I really like the Owner 5318. For all my other tube jigs I like the VMC 9147 and the Eagle Claw 3052.
