bankguy315 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I straightened a hook out on a giant the othe evening and was wondering about a good replacement size/brand hook. Also a little off the topic but what hook do you recomend for top hooking hudds? Thank You. Quote
Nice_Bass Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 eh....don't fish that stuff in central IL... #2 on the waver I believe and #2 for a top rigged hudd as well. Most will say owners st66. I prefer gammy 4x or st56 or st41 in owners personally. Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted May 22, 2015 Super User Posted May 22, 2015 I use 3x owner st-56 #2 trebles for 168s. I lost about a 4lb fish due to the stock hook straightening on a 168 and from then on I have replaced the trebles. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted May 23, 2015 Super User Posted May 23, 2015 I'm the odd man out. St-36 in 1/0 for me. Absolutely no reason to go to a 3x treble. I've never had an issue with them pulling. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 23, 2015 Global Moderator Posted May 23, 2015 I'm the odd man out. St-36 in 1/0 for me. Absolutely no reason to go to a 3x treble. I've never had an issue with them pulling. I landed a 50-60lb grass carp on a 168 S-Waver with St-36s without straightening them. I'm sure a 3X would maybe be okay but I'd be worried about messing up the glide of the bait, especially since it's a smaller bait. Quote
bankguy315 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Posted May 23, 2015 i will be getting a 200 soon and im working on a 9" slammer, i kinda want a hook that will work for all if possible. Quote
