Does anybody have a preferred hook pattern for the wee lads? I've got some fine wire mustads but was wondering does anybody have a favourite pattern or know of a hook designed for them? Cheers for any advice.

some lads use owners, cant remember pattern. kamasan match are good if your using other baits up the shank. standard b940 u will get away with if only tipping. semicircles have there uses as the worms fall close to barb after casting, can help with hook ups.

i actually dont like using them as bait... but i guess a long shanked hook would be suitable...

they are just a strange kind of worm..... never caught anything on them either..

I use size 4 Kamasan B940 match hooks for maddies when fishing off surf beaches for flounder. I put a blow lug or 3 inches of Black lug on first and head hook a dozen maddies. I would not use any other hook for them.

Cheers for that fellas. Will try the kamasan to see how it goes.
