Knowing how to choose the right catfish hooks for the type of catfish you want to catch is very important. Fishing for channel 2 pounds is very different from fishing for 50 pounds or blue, a flathead catfish. Sizes use 2 to 2 / 0 in most waters, but there are times when you can use larger hooks up to 6 / 0 effectively.
Usually fish with a hook 2 / 0 baitholder as I can get both table fare and some good sized cats without having to worry about missing a hook. When I'm in a place, and below a dam, which has proven to produce monster cats always use a 4 / 0 hook.
How to select the hook catfish right is easy. In the waters where I'm not sure what to use I always start with a hook 1 / 0 baitholder. If the drag is set correctly this book is what strong enough for the big catfish and small enough to provide food good food.
When I am trying to make sure I have decent capture to take home for dinner often switch to a small hook. Not many catfish fishermen recommend this, but I have had much success doing it. By example, if I have a problem with catfish to take the bait, run with it for a short distance and then simply dropping the bait will move into a baitholder # 2. Of course not as effective for large fish, but it put food on the table.
When it comes to winter fishing for catfish, you really can get better results also using smaller hooks. Even when you're trying to catch big fish. Especially in the winter when the water is cool and calm, catfish tend to be demanding, and you have to try to get them out of the water without scaring them.
In the spring, when fish are not as thorough, which may amount some great hooks and a hook 4 / 0 baitholder. These are especially good when there are classes of flood water current conditions. During flood conditions, fish tend to be very aggressive, and really basically grab whatever is out there. He will miss some fish could catch if you use the hooks more small in flooded conditions.
No matter the size or type hook that you should always prefer to use an assortment on hand so you can adapt to the water or conditions that is usually enough to go fishing in, you have to develop its own system and preferences to choose the right catfish hooks.
