You Know what else is killer for Wahoo, those old Luhr Jensen Crocodiles, 5 tom 7 oz. (if you can find them, there out there though) and you don't have to crank super fast. They're deadly.
For yellowtail and most species, the stock hook is just fine. If it so happens that larger grade tuna over 100 pounds are the quarry, then I do change to a heavy 8/0 single hook; usually the Owner open-eye Siwash. Some tackle shops do sell the 4/0 models with the heavy single hooks already attached.

Sorry, Correction, 3oz up to 7oz, Chrome
They do work great! Unfortunately, they have not been made in the heavier sizes for years, and do take some good detective work to locate.
Nice job Steve - I just picked up a Penn Torque 40 - well- made reel!
You will love it!
@@tunanorth oh I do! Great reel for the money
Mr. Carson, do you replace the stock tady 4/0 hook? If yes, what do you recommend as the replacement? Thank you.

Good day, Mr. Carson. Caught my first yellowtail last week using your technique. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Colonel Stephen Mitchell.
