First off, I dont know how big an egg is. But, usually you match the hook to the bait size, I`d use a 16 for single maggot or a 14 for a grain of corn.... If you start losing fish, increase the size of the hook. You do know its highly illegal to use eggs or "taffy" so expect a mixed response to this thread.

P.S if you do know how to make taffy, give us a PM, seeing as its so coverted, it must be worth knowing... Tight lines.
