I like a medium wire size four or six single but I find I loose quite a few on a lip hooked single so if you can find some a smallish size vb double hook is my fav👍

I found the best way with lives was a small treble in the dorsal but as Si says, a double would be fine.
For lobworms, super specialist has always been my hook of choice.

Agree with Alan , would ideally dorsal hook, one pit near me I fished, I pretty much doubled my hook up rate by doing that, lip hooking was loosing me considerably more fish than I banked

Another vote for super specialist, their nice and strong but also light so they don' t knacker the livos out as much when lip hooking on a roving setup.
Theres one or two phoneys round here ..

im surprised no ones mentioned circle hooks for the liveys, I'm not going to say ive loads of experience fishing liveys for perch coz I haven't but the bit ive done so far ive had a decent hook up ratio fishing paternosta'd baits.
Like I say I'm a novice at it by any stretch but I was advised this by a well respected friend and its worked for me so far. The hooks ive been using are mustard circles. this video was released shortly after I began using them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkWtenxbkIo looks like a good argument in favour.
As for worms yeah super specialist or kamasan animal for me.
