I bought two to check out this season, and I heard the hooks are pretty thin. What hooks are good replacements when the stock hooks wear out?

I went through half a dozen replacement hooks this winter on a 110jr +1, and a 110jr.

 

I didn't want to mess with perfection so I contacted MB because I wanted the exact same hooks, MB told me they don't sell them separately, but offered to send me some for free which they did.   

 

If you do a search on here, you'll find threads with hook replacement recs, but you can't get the actual stock hooks without going through MB.  I'm sure somebody has found a very close replacement, but again I want to stick with the ones they come with.  

 

You can open the stock hooks real easy on a nice fish, so just remember to throw the 110jr series especially on lighter tackle and line. 

Frankly I don't like the hooks megabass uses - I have had too many that don't bend, they just snap off. I don't know what I am using on the Jr. Because all the Jr's I got were pretty heavy floaters so I had to upsize the hooks anyway.

You got a bunch that don't suspend out of the box?

Every single Jr I have had was darn near a heavy float. The Jr +1's suspend well but not the regular Jr's. I have 8-10 of the regular Jr's. 

I've been fishing the 110 +1 Jr's with a St Croix Avid X ML spinning rod 

spooled with 8lb braid and an 8 lb FC leader.

Seems they do run at the advertised depth of 7 ft.  

I did change out the stock #8 trebles with

#6's Gamakatsu EWG Treble Short Shank Magic Eye.

Set up has accounted for several plus sized Brown bass for me.

All my jr's were floaters too. 

 

I upsized the hooks but I don't remember off the top of my head what I put on them.
