4/0 to 6/0
Mustad big guns usually do the trick, depending on the size of your baits though.

The Master
Pilbara Brad is our resident Barra Guru and he mentions some hook specifics for live baiting in his Issue 3 article in Reeltime. Here is the link
Just use the contents button to find Brad's article and head straight there. Its on page 69 if you have any trouble using the contents manager.

Have you got Flash player installed?
Also you may have windows explorer security settings that don't allow the player to play.
It opens and works for me??
On the Reeltime site page it has a trouble shooter that helps fix the problem.
you can get to that by clicking the fishwrecked-reeltime link at the top of this website.

Cheers, I was using eagle claw circles but they are costing a bit much for the amount that i loose. Will give the mustards a go.
