I use #4 or #2 baitholder.
#10 or #8 trebles, 3-4X
#2 or #4 Kahle hooks
Most everyone I know, if using a treble, go with a #10 3x.
What size lead weight do people normally use ?
As much as you need.Quote:

Whats the hook make and style number on 3x #10's? I've had two people ask today because of this thread and I can't find them.
I found Eagle Claw L934 Lazer Sharp 3X Round Bend Treble Hooks in #8 but not #10.
Thanks y'all !
Who is the regular that sells the treble hooks $5 for 50 at the pier? I bought some yesterday from him. :)
Late to respond but I have good luck with VMC 4X 9626BZ size 8 treble hooks when using live shrimp or ghost shrimp. For fiddlers the Mustad 9174BR 3X size 2 has a very short shank that is easier to hide.
Will46r, that would be Jim, aka Jjfish who can be found in the mornings on the Octi.
John, I'm out of town now but I'll be home tomorrow and I'll check. I know their Eagle Claw but don't know the model #.
Found it, Eagle Claw L934...
Wasn't sure what his screen name was. I saw em for sale the last 2 weekends and figured they wouldn't hurt my chances if I used em lolQuote:

The hook # I've got is Eagle Claw 957M 3X treble- size 8 or 10
