I’m wondering what size Owner Twistlock hook would work best for smaller flukes like the Fluke Jr and 4 inch Caffeine Shad. I love throwing the 5 inch superflukes for smallmouth but the hookup rates aren’t great. I did have more success using 4/0 owner twist locks but did seem to do a bit more damage to the mouth of the smaller and midsized bass, maybe due to the larger hook size. I was thinking about trying the thinner wire twist locks and maybe downsizing the flukes a bit. Any advice is appreciated. I’d like to find a good hook/fluke combo that doesn’t hurt the mouth if the fish too much and still has a good hookup rate so I’m looking in the 3.5” to 4” range possibly.
