Fishinthefish Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I usually upgrade all of my trebles to mustard hooks. Especially for salmon fishing. Quote

That was a lure that screamed for an upgrade but it was soldered on. I have one, I've caught two flounder on it. I missed a bass in a grassy pond I fish. Quote
S. Sass Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 I was just going through my hard baits. Getting to my lipless crankbaits I decided some new hooks are in order. I debated and watched different videos on ideas to help and decided to go with VMC Barbarian Treble #6 (Tin Red) up front and VMC Barbarian Treble #4 (Black Nickel) on the back of most of my lipless crankbaits. Almost all my baits are 3" 5/8 oz and up. Honestly unless the hook literally looked like junk I never replaced one from the factory while the bait was new. Of course we didn't have ebay selling aluminum hooks on baits from China either. So I did a little research on all these "new" and improved hook designs. I doubt I got the best but maybe they will work for a guy fishing for fun. Thanks for all the interesting reading and tips in this thread. Quote
