Not sure how big the eye's are? The only thing that would concern me would be where the eye bend meets the shank. There is usually a small gap or not a smooth transition spot that your line can get stuck in/on or cut. With the eye being bigger the gap/transition might be also. In which a smaller diameter line could get stuck in it or cut easier This would be my main concern as well. I do think that in general, cat fishermen typically use much bigger hooks than needed. I think that is a very true, the retailers like BPS and Cabelas sell giant hooks marketed to catfishermen and those who dont know better buy them up.

Warmouths are better than gills I thinl because they are much stronger on a hook. Gill seem to loose their fight.

That, and also certain saltwater fishing. It's also much easier to build tooling to create a large eye than a small eye when dealing with heavy wire hooks. I will agree with that.

Spro makes some nice stuff. I use steel if i can find them. Brass is strong but soft.

I use 40# on 100# braid. Anything more is very hard on your gear. For channels I use 20# and 65# braid. Thats just what I use.
