Hook Size Guide
| Hook Size | Typical Plastic Size | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| #4–#2 | 1.5–2.5" | Bream, whiting and finesse estuary fishing |
| #1–1/0 | 2–3" | Bream, flathead and small plastics |
| 2/0–3/0 | 3–4" | General estuary and inshore fishing |

Weight Guide
Use the lightest head that maintains contact and control: 1/20–1/12oz for shallow finesse work, 1/8–1/4oz for general estuary fishing, 3/8–5/8oz for deeper water or current, and 3/4–1.5oz for heavy inshore and offshore applications.
Match hook size to the plastic’s body length and thickness, then choose weight for depth, wind and current.
