I want to order some bulk treble hooks to have on hand for when you got to cut hooks and what not.. What would you guys suggest as a good all around size to buy to replace to standard musky baits...or maybe 2 sizes I should have on hand. Open to hear any ideas or opinions thanks

I like Eagle Claw model 774 hooks, and quite a few baits use them. I'd keep some 2/0 for smaller crankbaits, and 4/0 and 5/0 for Suicks, topwaters, jerkbaits, smaller bucktails, and a handful of others.

If you have any Mag Bulldawgs or double 10 bucktails Mustad 3551's are good in size 7/0. Can probably use 6/0 on the bucktails but I usually go with 7/0 and like I mentioned, they will work for mid size rubber baits too.
