    Or the Ryugi standard 4/0
    That's what I used last season
    But I'm sure any offset hook will work

    I had to look this up to see what it was. Dang, so many new lures out there I feel so lost any more.

    I've used the Fat Ika and looked at the Do Live Shot video and that last lure seems to have a nicer mouvement for backsliding. For the Fat Ika, a 3/0 EWG hook was the one that worked best. The Do Live seems to be a little longer and thinner so 4/0 would be good and that was what was suggested. With the Ika, I used to screw a small Florida type weight ( 1/8 oz ) at the head to get it to dive faster in deeper water. This is not nesessary in shallow water.

    the do live shot is a good bait but not was durable as the IKA.

    Never tried the do live, have used the Ika but prefer kind of making my own out of a Vertical Lures Tube X, a chunk of trick worm shoved in the bottom of the tube and a splitshot or a nail weight shoved in the head of the tube. I hookup better than the Ika. I use a 4/0 Owner Riggin hook.
