So today If I had landed all the fish that attacked grandpa's old spook, I'd have caught at least 7 or 8 bass. I dont know if the hooks are just too dull or what but I got a lot of bites today but was only able to net 1 fish. I have caught a few bass on this lure just last week so I dont know why all of a sudden the hooks aren't sharp enough to stick when they blowup. It was raining and cloudy towards afternoon after not being that way for a while so maybe this had something to do with it? Anyone provide some info/clarity as to what might be happening other than needing replacement trebles? (Which I plan on doing tomarrow). All I can think of is maybe a lot of the blowups were baby post-spawn bass that couldn't really get their mouth over the spook. I will test the difference w/new trebles and report back. I'm guessing the rate will double or even triple from 1 fish to maybe 3 if im lucky ?. 

If you're fishing a spook with dull hooks - shame on you.  If your grandpa's old spook is "special" and you don't want to spoil it with upgrades - just put it on the shelf and get a better walking bait.  This is just me, but my strike/landing percentage is much better on a Lucky Craft Sammy compared to a spook.   Other than that, I don't know what to offer, for me a Sammy is a much better walking bait than a spook is.  Should you decide that you're going keep the spook in service, either sharpen the hooks or put on new ones.

New hooks...PERIOD!
