Grandmas use 4/0 4x VMC, Little Ernies 2/0 regular VMC. I don't know about the others. I use 3/0 to 5/0 for bucktails depending on the size. Eagle Claw is a great thin hook that has a lot of temper. Later

I use VMC 4X Musky hooks for some lures and Eagle Claws on others

Go with the 9626 3/0 VMC for the grandma`s, you will never have the hooks tangle and waste casts! Those same hooks work sweet on DD,DDD with #7 bucherrings!
