So it looks like 7/0 to 12/0 will be fine.

I have noticed that the hook size between manufacturers tends to differ quite a bit. I have some 10/0 Mustad circle hooks that are just a little biggerthan a quarter but are made of about #10 AWG wire wereas the 7/0 eagle claw circle hooks are the size of a half dollar but are made of about #14 AWG wire. Is there any reliable way to relate the /0 size of a hook to actual size?
