Anybody fish this bait? I have a few which I've yet to fish. The hooks on them are on the smaller side, and was thinking about up-sizing a tad but was wonder what size/hooks other are using. I think they come stock with size 6 hooks.

 

Thanks.

 

 

I am not sure if i have the xtreme or just the regular version but the hooks out of the box worked fine and have caught me lots of fish.  I'd fish it first and see what you think before changing the hooks out.

I agree.  I haven't fished them yet but picked up a couple last week and they seem of high quality out of the box.  Hope they produce as I expect them to.

I have not seen the need to change the hooks on my brat.  Remember, hooks too large can change lure performance.

You could use 6 EWG hooks, maybe 4. I usually put EWGs in the same size on my DTs and have no noticeable performance difference.

And that means they are not too large.

Ok I'll give these a shot. I read a few reviews/saw video where guys say they upgrade to a larger size but didn't give any more details. 

My go to bait,  get's the skunk off,  killer lure
