KVD 1.5 Squarebill

[IndianaFinesse]

I found a kvd 1.5 squarebill, but the hooks are rusted out so I am going to replace them.  But I couldn't figure out what size of hooks they come with, tw doesn't say.  Does any of you guys know what size hooks they come with?

I believe they are #4's.

Upgrade those trebles from stock to these ~

Put a # 2 on the front & a # 4 on the back.

You'll be glad you did.

Yep, that was the hook I was planning on replacing them with from your advice on jerkbait hooks.

I have to ask: Why should you have two different size hooks?

Different sized hooks is not really a "Must" - it's an option.

I do it because I believe the up sized front treble increases my hook up & land ratio - especially on crazy jumping wild smallies. 

The stock size but shorted shank EWG treble on the tail helps reduce hang ups in the cover that I often throw these baits but still maintains a solid hook up & fish landed ratio.

Oh and  . . . .Magic too.

Thanks A-jay and 1201vilblog!  I ordered the #4 and #2 kvd 2 times short one times strong treble hooks (the #4s in the big pack) to replace the hooks on my 1.5 (plus some more colors I bought, the landing ratio wasn't great with stock hooks) and the kvd jerkbait I just ordered.
