Match your hook size to your bait -- 3/0 for smaller macs up to 7/0 for bigger models. If you're using circle hooks to prevent gut hooking, you can increase the hook size a little depending on brand to make sure the gap is wide enough.

For dead bait you can up the hook size pretty much to whatever you want, but I don't think there's really much need to go bigger than 4/0 or 5/0.
