Lil Corky Size and Hook Size
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?

RE:Lil Corky Size and Hook Size
ive never fished for steel. But for kings and silvers i like to usa a either small corky or med size corky,

RE:Lil Corky Size and Hook Size
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!

RE:Lil Corky Size and Hook Size
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 .
