Default Hook types

Steve, most of the Bass fishing I do is with soft plastics. I favor a
Gamakatsu(sp) off set worm hook in red. Various sizes from 1 to 5.0.
I can't remember the designation at the moment, but I try to find the
thinnest "wire" types. I have been meaning to try more circle hooks,
but always fall into the trap of using my "tried and true" hooks when
I hit the water.
For crappie I use very small Mister Twister type spinners with tiny
jigs/grubs.

How do you store your small spinners? I have probably 50 small (under
1/8 oz)inlines and am looking for something better for storage. Most of
the small boxes and trays I have looked at seem to have compartments
that will hold 3-4 in each spot. I'd rather have something that holds
one each, I was thinking maybe a fly box but most of those look shallow.

I like the circles I have tried. They seem to do what is claimed with
regard to hooking at the jaw instead of in the gut. Does make it better
for C&R fishing.
