Quick question is the front hooked suppossed to be "T'd" or not. Just got my first one and was wondering.

Thanks for the input,
Cody

They don't come "T'ed" but I think a lot of people do it to get the hook points off the body of the bait.

T the hooks on ALL hard body baits. the hook point lays right next to the body so its kinda hard to hook a fish that way. it WILL up your hooking %.

Except for the fact that a Weagle doesn't go in a straight line forcing the hooks back on the body. It goes back and forth, pushing the hooks to the side of the body. If you want your paint job to stay looking as nice as possible, you can still T the Weagle hooks.

Post a pic of the bait to give us a better idea of what you mean.

I just posted the pic of the hook. Sorry about it being kinda blurry, but I am straight above the hook and if you can see the hook looks like it was almost T'd or really badly bent.

Weagle hooks do not come from the factory (aka - my garage) T'd.

It is possible that a bent hook slipped through the cracks and made it on a bait.

It's hard to tell from that picture, but that one looks pretty normal to me.

Hey Baldy, could you tell me just the size of hooks you use on the bait. I am over analyzing everything I have right before the season and if you could tell me the hook size that would really ease my mind.

Thanks,
Cody

Cody,

I'm sure Baldy will chime in here. But I'm pretty sure they're Mustad 3551 7/0s on the 10".
