Went to bass pro shop to get a new hook for my son's Pointer 48.  We don't get to fish much, maybe 8-10 hours a year, and mostly from the bank.

 

But this Pointer 48 is my son's #1 hard bait fish catcher with 6 fish, even a 1.5 lb bass.  His next best is just 2 fish.  Of course rubber ants and bream poppers catch more than that.

 

 

Hooks got bendy much like Rapala hooks, probably from tree limbs not in the water.

 

Went to Bass pro shop, guy showed me how to do it, but he put a size 10 on, at the time it looked right but now I think it's too big and we needed a size 12.

 

Can I have a 10 and 12?  I think this would unbalance the lure.

 

Can someone recommend me a solid size 12 treble hook to put on this lure?  

 

Any help appreciated.

Size looks good, maybe a shorter shank.

They come with size 12 VMC hooks stock, but those look fine IMO as long as they're not impeding the action or how it suspends.

 

 

Well what you see in the picture is maybe a bass pro shop 10 in the middle and the back hook is the original vmc? 12.  The back is definitely smaller now that I have it home.

 Changing hook on pointer is a little bit tougher. It is not just the size of hook but weight to be considered as well. You want the action of pointer to suspended the same. Lucky craft said #12 and #12.

8-10hrs a year?

There not cheap, but they're excellent hooks

Ichikawa 84S Light wire or Owner St 36

Cbump - yes just 8-10 hours a year  maybe 4 two-hour trips to a farm pond.  This year though hopefully we will get more.  

 

GetFish - thanks, I will try the Ichikawa 84S since I don't see the Owner hooks in size 12.
