Every bait will be different - so having a variety of gap, shank and actual hook sizes is a good idea- I end up putting the old 8650 VMC 5/0's on the majority of baits... generally they work well on baits in the 7-10" range

It really depends on the bait. I like the short shank mustads on alot of baits but some baits need long shank hoos. I like the 5/0 long shank mustad for those purposes.

VMC O'shaugnessy 4X--you pick the size--generally 4/0 is a pretty universal size.

Tough as you can get them...I use them to put on our lures. We used to use Mustad 3/0--short shank, but we had some open up...not a good thing to have happen.

Like mentioned before size depends on bait you are putting it on But good brands are VMC and the musky innovations plasma point as for strenght wise I personally go with 2x or stanard any more and they are tough to get a good sharp point filled on them
