Nothing wrong with the #5 redlines but I wore some out and Im trying to decide whether to buy more of the same hooks or try another brand. Curious if anyone has tried another hook on this bait and found one that still let it suspended well. Thanks. 

Ichikawa RC - work great with suspending baits and are about the stickiest treble I’ve ever seen. 

BKK Hyperlatch 70-SS #6 is the most impressive jerkbait hook I've ever used.

Any idea if the RC or the RC light would be a better match?

You’d go with a #6 on the mavrik instead of a #5 when going with that BKK? 

I’ve never bought the Light, but have had good results with the regular.

I keep stock of #6's and use that 99% of the time mostly because I can NEVER find #5's. The #5 is slightly bigger, but hardly discernible. For the Mavrik, the #5 Hyperlatch is the better fit if you can find them, but I have zero issues with the #6 on the Mavrik.

 

#5 Redline is on the right, #6 Hyperlatch on left in pic.

Redline is heavier than Hyperlatch by 1 full grain.

Thanks man! I see the #5s in stock at Omnia so I’ll grab some of those and some of the Ichikawas and see what I like the most.
