Note, for circle hooks you need to go to the various manufacturers' sites as there does not seem to be any great uniformity is size versus number between makers, & in at least some cases even different model series by the same mfgr.
Well the time has come to address the HOOK situation. I thank Thudpucker and Sandy for their replies and have researched the appropreate websites. Although my main interests were for the BIG HOOKS I have studied up numerous sites and and learned some interesting facts.
I figured if you want to know about hooks, who would know best but a professional HOOKER so I googled HOOKER....thank the dear Lord my wife didnt walk in the room as this would have proven a sorry state of affairs. Without going into great detail it appears that HOOKERS know little to Jack about hooks.
So with that being said I see that Thudpucker has an interesting question about circle hooks in another message and being the curious type I once again googled CIRCLE HOOKERS????You would think a college person like myself would have learned from the first experience....not to be. You have the FULL CIRCLE, the INNER CIRCLE and the WINNERS CIRCLE.... whod a guested it?? I see Hilary C. is in the INNER CIRCLE and perhaps Thudpucker might ask her the pros and cons of the "J" hook VS the circle hook.....$100.00 says she knows and if she doesnt she could ask Bill.
Well enough of this trying to reinvent the hook, I am headed to the islands to fish for anything thats hungry and I will report back 5/1/08 with my findings on the.....THE HOOK.

Bob, you might try Halibut Gear. That's where I first used them. Big stainless hooks at first then mild steel finally. I just dont have the patience for all that searching. Once if get an overwhelming abmount of information to choose from, I get disgusted and demoralized.

Get a 'Captain Harry's' fishing supply catalog, they have the actual sizes for all the hooks and terminal gear in their catalog.
Great resource, they are located in Miami.
