3.5 inch tubes

[mhall]

The Shaw Grigby Eagle Claw hook with the clip on the top are perfect. The might tear up the bait a little after a hard hookset, but you are definitely going to stick a hook in the fish!!! They have a unique bend to them, and the clip keeps the head of the tube in place. I'm pretty sure a 3/0 would be the best for a 3.5" tube. A 4/0 would work better for a 4-4.5". Hope that helps.

I have not seen these hooks yet, where have I been, gotta check these out.

They've been out for a couple of years. You can get em at Bass Pro and Dicks if you want to go to a corporate place. If you have a local tackle store, they may have them. They don't have Shaw Grigby's name on them anymore, but they are the same style hook. Just look for a Kahle-looking hook with a clip in the eye. The hook is a little heavier wire. You'll know them when you see them.
