Bait size

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out where to get (SOR) mulie what are suitable for 4/0 and 5/0 gangs. Most of the stuff I have been buying has been too wide for the hooks. When I push the hook through the body it doesnt go far enough through to turn without tearing up the flesh.

Target is tailor/salmon from shore so I don't think I should be going to larger hooks...

 not sure about the hook size but if you salt your mullies it makes them alot firmer and they last longer
