I used 4/0 J hooks... my 61 was caught using a 1/0 eagle claw... My style of fishing is totally different then %90 of the people on this site.. I find the bigger the hook the more it takes to "set" it... I use a 7/0 on macks.. but for eeling those big hooks rip( eel) lips and especially In shallow water tend to get the eel hung up...and when the fish are fussy.. I find the smaller hook to give a more natural presenting... I use 16lb line... there is just no need for me to use a monster hook...
