>>814477>>814855I use 8/0 (sometime i will use 5/0 if bait is small)octipus circle hooks snelled with 40lb fluro leader and my main line is 20-30lb berkley biggame mono in electric green. When fish sunfish live, hook placement is key. Also i use a baitcasting set up with a bait clicker although you could make do with a spinning rod and a bait runner reel. When a flathead hits the bait it will give a small thump and take the bait away slowly. **IMPORTANT** Be sure to let it run for atleast 5seconds so it can position the bait properly before setting the hook** after the fish has ran for over 5 seconds i engage the reel and reel till its on( dont set the hook on a circle hook) I lost a few fish setting the hook to early.
