anything bigger than 1/0 is completely uneccessary, size one is plenty big enough for any fish on the Vedder!!!!!

In the past I've used 2s and 3s, with really good hookup rates, but the landing part wasn't very impressive. ::)

Last year I was using either a 1/0 or 2/0, the fish decided they didn't want to come off everytime. ;)
