dam0007 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I just stripped all my D20s to put new hooks and rings on. I go to match up the O rings and hooks and realized each bait has a #3 and #4 Ring and a #1 and #2 hook. Does anyone know which size goes front and rear??? i would assume the 3 and 2 go together and 4 and 1... ? Not sure which one set where tho??? I'm sure I could put whatever I want on em but I know these in particular are finicky on action as it is. Thanks in advance! Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted March 31, 2017 Super User Posted March 31, 2017 I do believe you had it right ~ The #4 split ring & the #1 Treble go on the front and the #3 split ting & the #2 hook go on the back. I am a fan of an upsized treble in the front & usually a stock size in the back - Mustad ewg's for me. http://www.luckycraft.com/luckycrafthome/Products/crankbait/flatcbd20.htm A-Jay Quote

If I just did #4 front back I wonder if it would affect the action... also I have some 1x not the short ones the regular length triple grips. Same thing wonder if it would affect the action. The stock hooks seemed pretty thick... I was contemplating on doing the regular wire TGs as well... but I'm out in those sizes. Quote

I use these (and a few others) mostly south of the Border and yes the hooks are 1/0 & 1 and I use Owner Hyper wire rings - same size as noted above. btw - the SK 8XD is a solid producer (same hook upgrade); Bigger but not too big & the Duo Realis Crankbait G87 15A is good too. Haven't tried the 20A yet. A-Jay 1 Quote

But yeah that's it for over 15ft. Under 15 I'm pinjack, beast hunter and DT10s. Quote
