Whopper Plopper Hooks

Featured Replies

I just bought my first one. Do I need to change the hooks and split rings? Does anyone have experience with their stock hooks?

Stock hooks are perfectly fine. On my 90 size one, I changed them out to size 4 short shank round bends because I wanted a red hook in the front and a feathered one at the back

Their hooks are sharpened by Daiichi. You're good to go!

Awesome bait and the hooks caught a ton of fish for me with no problems.

The stock hooks on my 130 started to straighten. I was using my frog rod (7' 3" H/F with 50lb braid), but switched them to #4 VMC Spark Points and haven't had any issues since. The split rings are fine. 

in my opinion the hooks suck.  I swap them all to ST-36s.  I have even seen split rings break too.
