Hi,

What size of hook do you use for pink salmon?
Thanks.

TheFishingLad · « **Reply #1 on:** September 01, 2013, 05:50:48 PM »

I use a size 4 for everything salmon related.

#2 or #1 pinks are stupid and far from hook shy

For drift gear, size 4.

For flies, size 8 and 6.

9/0 so I can catch 2 on the same hook

they aren't hook shy nor are they shy of other pinks struggling on a hook

Flies size 4 or 6 short shank and spoons size 2 siwash.
Pinks are not hook shy and I prefer hook size which allows me to quickly land and release pinks.

#6 for me with Dick Nite spoons and #4 with wool.

This goes for myself as well

Match the hook to the presentation. If the OP is talking about casting spoons/spinners in the tidal fraser then a 1 or even 1/0 is more than reasonable for larger lures.

something close to 2/0 for Tidal Fraser
