Super User NorthernBasser Posted May 18, 2020 Super User Posted May 18, 2020 Just curious what hooks you guys use when replacing the stock hooks on the Arashi Glide. Thanks! Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 19, 2020 Global Moderator Posted May 19, 2020 I'll probably swap mine to ST 36s like I do most of my baits. The hooks don't seem terrible, but I have the replacements already and hate to lose a monster to lesser hooks. 1 Quote
JediAmoeba Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 I didn't change mine. They are pretty stout hooks and I was lazy. Only caught one fish on it but it was a pretty good one. 2 Quote

That sounds right. I've got #2-2/0 in my swimbait wraps so I'll just have to do a side by side comparison and decide which looks best. The Arashi is one of the 2 baits I brought with me to work to toss around when I get off in the morning. Bait looks good, haven't got bit on it yet though. 1 Quote

Eric Bush Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 They come stock with VMC 2/0 trebles on them, I replaced mine with short shank EWG Owner Stingers, but I’m keeping the VMC hooks because VMC make’s awesome hooks I just wanted short shanks in EWG’s 1 Quote
