Depends on the bait your using for tailor I use 9/0 Gamakatsus and for big mullet and blue makerel I use 12/0 Gamakatsu Mega baits or any other 10/0-14/0 hooks.

Like what's being said
Like what's being said depends on bait size, for small baits like whole mullet or tailor I use 9/0 shogun mutu circles or mustard live bait in about that size, for big baits like whole large salmon or other 60-80cm whole fish i use 12/0-14/0 owner matsu circles or jobu big game hooks. Mostly use 2 hook rigs snelled with the wire between the hooks sewn down to the body of the fish to stop it from getting pulled off.
always looking for a new challenge!!

12/0 circles are a good start. .. always circle hooks.
Just remember to pack some serious long nosed pliers to get the hook back out. :)
