Location: Lake "y" cause lake"x" got over fished		I have a few baits that I need to replace some hooks on.... wondering what everyone thought as far as the best hooks go? I need to replace hooks on...

8" Viper
2x 6" Phantom
7.5" Phantom
9" weighted Suick

Did a little bit of it last year, but really looking for in depth opinions on good hooks, for great hookups?

Secondary question... Do you think that the Phantom non-softtails could use the "fish tails" from MTO and not lose their action...? Here is the link...

Location: NorthCentral WI		Mustad 35656BR - 3/0 is what you want for the Viper and Phantoms IMO.

3551's on the Suick - 3/0 also.

I would say no to the fish tails on phantoms.

Nothing's stickier. It's where the rubber meets the road. Don't buy cheap.

Do you touch them up w/ a file before you use them?

for me owner stinger 36 is by far the best one money can buy.
a lil bit overpriced but you got what you pay for.
believe me file is not needed with these trebles.
here is the model i use for the phantom and the viper 2/0 5636-121
concerning the suick i have no idea because i don't have any.

Location: Minnesota.		Fat ski...yep.

Also do know I'm not THE authority. Another fellow on the forum clued me in and now it's me agreeing with him! Incredible hooks.

The previous poster- learntoswim- suggested another brand and might know something I don't...that's not impossible :-))

Slide them across the thumbnail....any of your fav's. then do that w/a Gamakatsu.
