Default Rat-L-Traps

Im replacing the stock hooks on all of my Rat-L-Traps and I noticed that the front hooks on the 1/2oz and 1/4 oz are bigger than the back hooks. Do i kept the hook sizes like orginal or can i use the same size hooks on front and back?
Thanks
Ken

You can use the same size hooks. Just don't use oversize hooks-they can interfere with the action of the bait.

I have noticed that too,

Those are crappy hooks on the Bill Lewis rattletrap, I replace with Owner
and it does effect it a little .
The Cotton Cordel spot comes with some really nice hooks, I think they look like owners and are really sharp.
I like a set of treble hooks that have a slight twist to the curve going up to the barb. it gives a better hook set

The traps hookhangers are closer together than it is on the spot. Keep thetrap hooks the same size or you will have a problem with them fouling each other.
