I have several 1980s "Heddon Wood" crankbaits. The screw eye holding the front treble is easily turned. I'm wondering if I should replace them with a longer slightly larger one. Or are they adequate as is, and I should leave 'em alone?

Suggestions?

I have taken many of my grandfathers old Heddon Wooden Bassers from the 70s and brought them up to modern spec, so to speak. On the screws, back them out, and put a bit of Gorilla Glue on the threads, and then get them back in. Anywhere there is an eye bolt, I've added an oval split ring, and then a hook. I cut the old hooks off. I also deleted the center hook on many of the larger baits.

I may have "devalued" these lures by doing so, but I don't actually care. They are worthless to me, if they aren't being used. Its cool to think that these baits have caught fish over the course of over 30 years.
