Well done mate, sounds like a good session. If targeting soles specifically, I’d stick with the smaller patterns mate, size 2 Aberdeen’s is my choice. For general worm fishing, I was using size 1 Aberdeen’s, but I get a good run of eels on my patch, at least one a session, of which some were deep hooked, so went up to size 1/0 which stopped this. Bait size and target species helps me decide hook pattern. When bass are the target with worm baits, I use large blacks or yellowtail lug, and they sit nicely on a size 2/0.
