There's a couple hooks that are good for the Basstrix. One is the Mustad Power Lock EWG. Here's a pic of that hook from TW

You have to bend those hooks out a little to get the hook angle right. They curve in too far toward the hook shank out of the package. Not surprisingly these hooks have been chronically sold out on TW for months, but if you order you will get them, I got mine after about 2 weeks.

The other hook people like is the Falcon weighted EWG hook. It's called the Bait-Jerk hook I believe. This is a Gamakatsu Superline hook with some weight on the shank.

Here's a pic showing the 5/0 falcon hook (top) and the 5/0 Mustad hook (bottom). Both are rigged in 6" baits. I added a little more weight to the falcon hook which you can see in the pic. That hook can use some bending out also. It's not bent out in that pic.

There are some other options from Owner that have a pigtail attached to the eye of the hook but from what small experience I have with these lures, those hooks don't seem to keep the fish on very well.

As far as how to fish the baits, I hate to be smart, but just cast them out and reel them in. They fish like a spinnerbait to me.
