well for sardines then a 4/0 would be fine but i wouldnt go less. for mackerel in the 14-16" range use an 8/0 gamakatsu circle through the nose. they dont have huge mouths but the meat around it is pretty thick and the 8/0 grab really well and the skin wont ubstruct the opening of the hook.

Do you like the gama's better then owner? I use their octopus and misquito hooks but I've always liked owners circle hooks they tend to stay sharper with less upkeep in my opinion. To each there own, but ill give the 8/0s a go next time I pick up tackle. Thanks for the info

William,
How deep is the water that you are fishing for them in?

I could give you one really great shot in 1080p of a very bent rod but that doesn't exactly prove anything huh? I'm gonna try again Monday and I'm doing gopro drills at home right now so hopefully I can put your bull shiat meter to rest. Here is a quick vid of the last one I got to the yak till next time.http://static.photobucket.com/player.../VIDEO0021.mp4
