What's your favourite Doggy Hook?

What is your Favourite doggy hook? Got a pack of Gamakatsu LS 5013F (size 1) recently, has anyone been any experience of these? The size 2 looks ideal for dogs, nice long shank alwell.

Another hook I used to use for dogs is the Sakuma 565 Stinger Match . . . .

What pattern do you find best.

with doggies I don't think it matters what size hook or pattern you use they would swallow a anchor if there was a bit of bait on it :roll: I have hooked them on every hook size from size 2 to 10/0

I use B940 size 2 some times 1. I pretty much exclusively use B940s. Funnily enough some days I can't get a dogs on a size 2 but a 2/0 gets a hook up.

Catching dogs is not easy and those that say otherwise are just showing their ignorance. I have had days where the trebles flow every few minutes but other days you get every bite missed or no bites as others get fish until something is changed.
