Hey there dsbklyn,
Aquaman is right on the money as usual. But... depend on ol' JR here to throw unwanted and un-necessary info! ha ha
The actual number/size ratio of the hook varies not only amoung the different manufacturers but also the different style hooks that are avaliable. Aside from treble hooks, you'll be supprised to see sometimes big differences in standard J-shaped hooks. I'd use smaller hooks that what many might be thought common as I also fish very light line most of the time.
A bait hook size 4 is different than a live bait hook which is different than a circle hook and on and on! Buy a number of different hook sizes and styles depending upon knowledgable advice and experiment!
Enjoy those little fishies.
You might want to flyfish for them. Ops another series of hook sizes. ha ha
