I have a smaller size original Hardhead and I had to cut all 6 prongs/points off the two treble hooks when a fish got all tangled in the net. I put the hooks I had from a jackpot that looked to be the same from what I can reconstruct. Not sure if that back one was originaly wider though. Anybody know the exact hook type and size.

I cant find anything to back up my observation, but sure looks like an Eagle Claw 774 3/0.

H2O puts a 4/0 on the Half Cranky. The hooks on my hard head were a wee bit smaller.

I put a short shank round bend on the front and the back a long shank. It gets the trebles a little farther apart. Rodger likes the 774 and puts those on his baits.
