I use Mustad 3366 sizes 4 or 6, but if you're going after really big

For poppers and for bucketmouths, I'd say 4 or 6 was too small- with
"too small" meaning the bluegill can get 'em in their mouths. I like
to use something big enough that I won't be C&R'ing 10 'gills for
every largemouth. The 'gills are just too fast and aggressive. So I
like size 2.

Except when my kids are fishing. Then something smaller. They don't
seem to mind the "'gill on every cast" thing. :-)

Hey, Chuck, I used that 3/4" dado plane yesterday. Very nice. Thanks
again for being an enabler. :-)
