Size Hooks?

BigBassin144 · 12-15-07, 01:17 PM

Alright, I now we've talked a lot about replacing treble hooks for spring recently. But I was still wondering a couple of things. Mostly like what size hooks you put on baits. I am plannig on getting VMC Barbarian, VMC Short Shank Rapala, and Mustad Triple Grips.

Here's some of the baits I need to know hook sizes for:
-Bandit 100's and 200's
-Rapala DT's (mostly 04's and 06's)
-Rat-L-Traps (or other lipless cranks)
-Topwaters (mostly poppers)

Thanks a lot guys,
BB

Treble hooks also come out with sizes 3 and 5 and these may be the size that you need. Otherwise I would go with the same size or maybe one size larger (3 or 5). Diachi and Gamkastu has these newer sizes out.

Bandit 100s are size 6.

Big baits like a DD-22 are size 2.

The in-between size is usually a 4.

Thanks guys. Zooker, I'll have to try the longer shank on the back.

By the way, what sized hooks on Lipless cranks (mostly Rat-L-Traps)?
