what size hook for  catching shiners
Hook shiners through the lips on a 4/0-5/0 circle hook. With big baits, you rarely need a sinker. When trolling or drifting smaller shiners, give the bass a five-count and then reel down until the circle hook comes tight. Bass that hit your jumbo shiners usually handle the hook set for you.
