I wan to change out the hooks on my 6 inch TT. What size and brand/type hooks are the guys who are throwing this bait using for replacements? I lost 4 fish this weekend on the bait and I think the hooks might have had something to do with it.

Hey John
I am actually changing the hooks on all my TT's also......Painted them....I think a Gammy one in the front and 2 in the back.....I know Rob likes a 1/O in the front and a 1 in the back on the 7 incher.
Hope it helps.....Also the owner hyper wire split rings.......I also like the Decoy snaps if you are going to use a snap...

I played around with different hooks and on the 6 inch bait I put a #2 owner on the front and a #4 on the back. I at first went with a 1/0 in front and a #1 and it did not swim very well at all. I then put a #1 in front and a #2 in back, it swam all right but they made the bait harder to wake. If I was fishing the bait deeper I would use that set up. I love this bait, but I need to get a larger one as this one is getting hammered by 14 inch fish all the time.
Dude, don't tempt me. I am actually saving my pennies right now for a Wake Bait Jr. I want a bigger TT but right now the Wake Bait fits into a niche that that I don't currently have filled with other baits.
