i need help with hook size...ive switch to Kahle hooks the last 2 years or so and man did my hook up ratio dramatically increase. i honestly rarely miss a fish if i let him take the bait properly. before i was using regular hooks and even tried circles. the kahles are the ticket for me...i love them.

i just got serious about fishing live bait for bigger cats last summer. this summer i wanna get even more into it spending every friday and saturday night on the river bank.

i usually fish 3-6 inch creek minnows and chubs..and will be fishing the same sized bluegills this year...both live. occassionally ill cut up a chub just to see what happens. i think live is the way to go still though..

what size hooks do i need to fish bait of that size???

also..where do you guys hook your live chubs and bluegills to keep them alive and working best for flatheads??

thanx guys
