Punkers and hook sizes

[Ryan Michaud]

so on the 8'' wood punker. I swapped out the hooks for some bigger owner 1/0 ST-56 (also the split rings #7 owner hyper wire) and on another one I used an ST-58 2/0 for the front hook and the ST-56 1/0 for the back two. ill throw em in the lake in the morning but just curious if anyone has switched out the hooks on theirs and if it altered the action at all.

Let us know how it goes

I found 1/0 st 36 front to back worked good on the 8". No effect on the action

So I played with the one I put the st-56 1/0 all around.think it might be a tad too heavy now. Not as light on the twitch and sits almost submerged. Most of its walk the dog action is submerged as well. I'm going to put the stock hook back on the front to see if that pulls the nose up and helps it work a bit better. If not I'll try the st-36 hooks

There's a pinned post on this section of the underground. It has a bunch of hook sizes for a bunch of different baits.
