What's the best hook for tuna in NE

[ReelyNauti]

Here in the North East what would you all say is the "GO" to style/size hook for general bait fishing for tuna

and for making jet head rigs?

For what kind of bait fishing? Chunking? If so, my favorite chunking hook for Yellowfin is the Owner Super Mutu Circle, in 6/0.

i use Gamakatsu circle hooks. Never had one pull or straighten. Use them for all applications, in sluggos, livies, even modified a couple of jigs with them. I swear you could hang my car on them!

FWIW the top guides I personally know up here in Mass have broken or opened most brands of hooks less Owner Jobu, see: http://www.basspro.com/Owner®-Jobu™-Big-Game-Hooks/product/53214/-1006922

We even attach a ringed swivel and cast them into lead head jigs for a truly custom approach.
