Posting again with another newbie question... Can I get some advise on matching Lil' Corky size with the appropriate hook size. I realize that the bigger the Lil Corky, the bigger the hook should be but would like to get some examples of actual sizes. Like what size hook to use with Lil Corky size 6,8,10, etc. Thanks again. What's your favorite size for silvers, steel, chinook?

i like to use 1/0 hooks when i do a corkie and yarn set up. I prefer to use the med size corkies bu will use two small ones if need be!

thanks. what color combo do you like with the corky and yarn setup. i've heard black corky with red yarn in dark water....any other favorites? thanks for 1/0 hook with medium corky. i assume this would be sizes 8 or 10

I use size 14 corkies for Steel , Kings and Coho. In my experience its always better to stay small as posssible except for when talking about leader length. Unless in mearky deep water then I go to size 12 corky. Hook size 2 and 4 for steel and coho size 1/0 kings. I'm not the most experienced angler here but this has been working for me .
