RobG Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I live in a state where live bait is not allowed...but usually make a trip or two to MN over the winter. Last year I could not get into the fish with any of my lures then someone at a shop suggested that I try just a plain red hook...and he gave me one. It worked wonders. The problem is - I lost that hook and don't know what size, style, name, etc. I am planning on heading to MN again this winter and was going to make sure I bought a few packs of hooks. What is the best hook & size to use for the live minnows? I mostly fish Upper Red. THANKS!! Rob / Utah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
