Gan craft jointed claw 70 Single hook replacement

Featured Replies

Hey everyone, so I was wondering if anyone has any single hook recommendations for the Gan craft jointed 70. I am going to be targeting bass with the lure. I know vanfook is a good brand, but there’s so many different ones that it makes me feel really overwhelmed. Some insite would be greatly appreciated

thanks :)

Ryugi Pierce or Dagger. Can't remember which I used. The Dagger is thinner and lighter but still pretty strong.  

 

Just noticed its supposed to be a single hook.....not sure on this one.

Just like going from lead to steel shot the general rule for single replacement is 2 sizes increase with a like dia.  The exception is with Owner 1x replacements they run really small for whatever reason.  Go up 3 sizes if you are getting owners.  BKK makes really good replacements, but their lighter wire single, the Imp, is tin coated like Ichikawa's so be warned.

I change all the trebles I can, esp on my SW plugs.  When you change hooks, its not just the weight of the hook, but the resistance it has in the water, effects the action of the bait.  Generally replacing trebles with a single replacement will tighten the action of the bait due to less water resistance.  A lot of time I have to keep the belly treble and just replace the tail treble with a single, so I don't lose the action of the bait.
