Heard a couple of Elite Series guys say they always use 3/0 and have better results. Not sure why. One did say they tend to hit the bait at the head and can get the hook in the lip instead of the back of the throat. I have used a 3/0 this year and it works fine.

4/0 or 5/0 regular offset worm hooks. Owner or Gammy.

Fish do tend to hit the head and not from behind. DO NOT use the bigger 7.0 hooks. Too many stories of the hook going into the fishes brain and killing them. 3-5.0 hooks work very well for me.
