Hey guys, just a quick question. Thread title says it all. Do you know what size hooks are on these? I had one bend out pretty bad today on a big pike. What are you guys using as replacements? 

 

Appreciate it! 

Not sure what the stock hooks are but I run Mustad #2 short shanks.  Red on front if you want to get wild.

How wild? I mean, does the color of a hook have any impact on the frequency of landing fish?

Just from my experience, it seems like the fish is more likely to head shot a bait with a red front treble-maybe it gives the fish a spot on the bait to aim for.

I changed my DB wooden and G2’s to Owner STX 58 treble hooks. Expensive but bullet proof very sharp hooks.

1/0 for G2 and 2/0 for wooden shell crackers.
