Planning to order all sizes of replacement hooks for spoons, squarebills, dt6, 6xd, etc. All sizes are available in KVD triple grips except for the DT6 (size 5). Should I just look for a different brand that carries a size 5? I checked Owner St35/36 and they don't do size 5 either. Thanks.

I just bought a bunch of Owner ST-36BC trebles in sizes #4, 5 and 6 from TW last week. They're RB and not EWG, but they are available and should work just fine unless you are absolutely sold on EWGs.

I just looked again and yes, i do see the Owner ST36 comes in a 5. Sorry, oversight on my part. Do they match the stock dt6 hook? Or are they longer?

Just checked some DT-6s and they look nearly identical to me, within a millimeter or so in overall length.

That has always been my gripe about kid trebles too. Balsa lures do not like going from a size 6 to size 4 even if they are shortshank, a size 5 would be perfect. I used VMCs in the past but I think Gammys come in all size 5 or 3 in EWG shortshanks now.
