I've been replacing the hooks with the regular mustad round bends. Was wondering if the short shanks 2x strong hooks affect the action of the bait at all?

On Walking baits, I find that the short trebles do not help my hook up percentage but I do have a few with short shank for working over weeds, and fish seem to stay buttoned better if Upgrade the split ring, but the Sammy Hooks I leave as is, I only change up hooks on spooks and other walkers...The more weight you add to the tail the better a bait usually walks, but test em out at the ramp and you know if you like the action or not...A dressed treble can add too much drag at times for some lures, The Sammy has good hooks but can't hurt if you have more confidence in another type or kind.

I used to change trebles like a freak, now I find I leave em as is and 90% of time I am happy except with lipless cranks which I simply upsize to VMC Inline #3 and #5..I like those 2 sizes since they do not alter action much.
