what hooks do you lads use

I used to use Sakuma Manta or Varivas Big Mouth in 2/0 for hounding on the Hampshire / Sussex beaches. Smuts may be big fish but you don't need big baits to catch them; a whole small crab or half a big one well lashed on the hook will do the job. I once had three hounds on the same bit of crab hoyed back out after unhooking each one...
 
i like varivas sal****er champions in size 2 to 3/0 for most of my fishing. sakuma phantom is a similar hook.

for 4/0 to 6/0 i like varivas bigmouths, again sakuma mantas are similar.

got some sal****er champions myself bill as you were telling me they were very good and you were right spot on and the same for the sakuma phantoms.

good bit of advice from you bill.
