Tommy X Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I want to put some good quality treble hooks on a new zara spook. I don't know what size to get. Does anyone know what size I should order? its the normal size 2 treble spook. Like 3 or 3 1/2" long. Thanks Quote
Dypsis Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 The puppies (3") have size 6 hooks. I like owner st-36 in most of my treble hook replacement needs. 1 Quote

poisonokie Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 actual Zara Spooks have 1/0 hooks. I replace them with Mustad kvd something or others. They are ewg 1 Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted September 13, 2015 Super User Posted September 13, 2015 I replace all my bait's hooks with the Mustad KVD 1X short 2X strong EWG trebles. I have a lot less fish loss once they hook up, and because of the hook design, I've had I believe one hook that bent out to where a regular treble would be. Let me catch the fish and then just replaced the hook. But if you already went with the Owner ST-36's, maybe check these out on the next run of treble swaps. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 13, 2015 Global Moderator Posted September 13, 2015 I put Owner St-36s on my Spooks. I use a #2 on full size spooks, #4 on super spook Jr, and #8 on the Zara Puppy. Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted September 13, 2015 Super User Posted September 13, 2015 if you want the best , sharpest , strong hook , - get some Owner ST-41's , best treble hook ever made .... 1 Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted September 13, 2015 Super User Posted September 13, 2015 if you want the best , sharpest , strong hook , - get some Owner ST-41's , best treble hook ever made .... They are too heavy and make a spook sit too low in the water, on a crankbait I could see them but not on a topwater or jerkbait. Stick with the ST-36 for the Spooks but size will depend on what you have. If you have the original Zara Spook with the hook hangars then you need big hooks, size 1/0, with the Super Spook Jr. or the Super Spook you need size #4, a set of 2 for the Jr. and a set of 3 for the Super Spook. 1 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted September 13, 2015 Super User Posted September 13, 2015 My spooks are not connected with split rings , they are connected with hook hangers. So I just have never changed the hooks . Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted September 13, 2015 Super User Posted September 13, 2015 I use vmc barbarians on most of my replacements.I bought about 20 kits that had 70 hooks in each on clearance at dicks one yr.if i recall they where 1$ each still have 12 kits left Quote
