pbcali Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Anyone have any luck swaping out hooks to a light wire treble which would allow the hooks to float and ride up underneath the bait rather than hang down heavy like an anchor? I fish some really clear water and want to disguise my hooks a little more. I bought st-36's but they are not much lighter looking than the factory hooks on my 250. BB said he swaps out to s light wire gamakatsu 2/0 front 1/0 rear but I can't find a light wire treble in those sizes. The factory 250 hooks after a year of fishing it still feel sharper than the brand new st36. Do u guys change your hooks on the 250? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggfeast Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Instead of disguising we’ve actually added feathers to the front hook to give the bass something to track down and strike at. It’s funny how they really do start getting hooked on the front treble if you put a feather one there. As for light wire hooks my guess is as good as yours. I roll with Owner St-36, 41s, and mostly 56’s which none are light. I am curious tho on others opinions Willluvstafish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevro1et Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 The new Owner STX-38s are lighter gauge utilizing their Zo-Wire and nano coating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdatwe Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 anyone know what the stock hooks are on Deps and/or Roman Made lures? They look like ST 46's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceaser Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Use Gammy bronze like butch. Those trebles are light wire, dont look intrusive and are actually pretty strong for 1x hooks. They are BRUTAL sharp too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilcatfish Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 The new Owner STX-38s are lighter gauge utilizing their Zo-Wire and nano coating. Unfortunately they don't come in sizes bigger than 2, or the 45s bigger than 1. I was excited to see these but they need bigger ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
