I like those but it appears that the KVD Elites are the same hook but shorter and stronger then the ones you suggested. They are about $6.49-$6.99 for an 11pk in #2,#4,#6 http://www.***.com/Mustad_KVD_Elite_1X_Short_Shank_Triple_Grip_Treble_Hook/descpage-MKVDEST.html

What do you guys think about getting shorter shank hooks compared to the standard size?

Thanks guys!

I think the larger, heavier baits get the #2/#4 combo like crankbaits and heavier lipless cranks

I'm looking to replace a lot of my treble hooks for the upcoming season, especially for my jerkbaits, and lipless cranks. I'm looking for the best bulk options since I will be buying a lot. Gamakatsu? Owner? Mustad? Which one and what sizes are good? I was thinking #4,#6, and maybe some #2. Let me hear what you guys think. Also, what kind and size of split rings are you using?

For me, its always been a spinnerbait.

I dont think the heat will make them unusable, but it will start to melt them and leave a melted plastic smell. If you have no choice, atleast keep them out of the sun. Underneath the seats or covered would atleast help alittle. Also, maybe leaving the windows slightly open will help with ventilation.

Yep. I also go heavier for some casting applications.

I've been using it exclusively for years on both my spinning and casting combos. I love it.

All my rods and reels are from the same manufacture. Its easier to go from one setup to the next. There is no adjustment. Just fish.

agree. Also, lighten up the line. 10lb is plenty

You cant go wrong for $90.
