Location: Kodiak, AK | I need to replace some hooks on some 10" Jakes. Before I place an order and go by trial and error, anyone know what size they use so they balance and run well? |

Location: Kodiak, AK | Cool. Just heard back from Drifter. They use 4/0's, which seem kinda small. Prob go with the 5/0. |

I run a pair of 7/0's. . Do the 7/0 effect the bait at all. Neutral Bouyant? |

Yeah, I ordered 5/0's. I think they'll work well. I know I always look at the factory hooks and just wish for a little more... |

Location: South East Wisconsin | Jeff, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. I hear what you are saying about factory hooks. |

Location: On the X that marks the mucky spot | I put 5/0 774's on most all my mid-small baits that will handle them. They're probably the best economical hook out there IMOP. |

| I have run 7/0 for all three hooks it seemed to help keep the bait down a little better casting with no effect on the action and it seemed to help with a higher hooking %. Trolled same way.
Good luck,
