Gamakatsu or Owners.

1/0 for 7" baits, 2/0 for 9" baits. Just sharpen the stock hook on the 12" baits.
Sometimes on 9" slammers i'll put a 1/0 on back. Be careful with 1/0 Gammies. You can bend those out like nothing.

If your going to Lake Mead then I would suggest upgrading the Owner's to the 2x just incase you hook into a big striper. I have had stripers at Castaic straighten out the regular Owner stingers. I actually found some 3/0 Owner's at the Fred Hall and I now use those on the 12 inch.Good Luck
