i have been using #8 and 10 mosquito hooks. The problem with the 10's is that if i dont watch carefully theyll swallow it and since the bluegills mouths are so small ill throat hook or gut hook em. Then i feel bad wen they start bleeding out or float back up 2 min after putting em back. ino leaving the hook in its mouth will impede it from eating thus leading to death. and the 8's are too big for smaller baits. what size hook is best for bluegills? and are there any specially thin pliers for bluegills?
