I use Mustad 3366 sizes 4 or 6, but if you're going after really big
fish, you might even go up to size 2 or larger.


Ditto CTL's advice. I'd add using a wide gap, "bass bug" hook. Something
like a Mustad 37187, TMC 8089, or Daiichi 2722. #4-#6 would be about
right with the TMC and Mustad, but the Daiichi's are sized funny. I'd
start with a 1/0 and work up from there.

A friend of mine has some interesting versions of Gurglers.
