| I can only tell you that I downsize the treble hooks on 6" Jakes to size 1. I do this to get better action on a straight retrieve. The ones I bought came with trebles two sizes above that. |

If you want better action with great hooking, take the middle hook off of a 6" Jake and throw it away - Then replace the head and tail hook with 3/0 VMC Conecuts.
IMO the middle hook on all baits only creates drag in the water and doesn't allow the bait to snap or roll back and forth with more vibration than without. I have been taking the middle hooks off of baits for years and I honestly don't think it has cost me any fish because a muskie is almost always hooked by the head or the tail hook. As a matter of fact, I think by doing that I have seen more fish because of the different action I get without that middle hook plus that middle hook adds 3 more points of resistance when applying your hookset.
