mirrorlure hook replacement
I have several mirrorlures that need new hooks. Any suggestions on a
particular hook and size that I should use? I'm thinking of #4 Owner ST 41. |

Just take one of them and replace it with a Daiichi Bleeding hook Now you will see it catch twice as many fish as the other ones with other hooks,, they think they know why this works, but they really are not sure,, it was in an issue of Bassmaster's this last summer. -- Rodney Long, Inventor of the Boomerang Fishing Pro. , Straight Up Hooks , Straight Up Lures, Mojo's Rock Hopper & Rig Saver weights, and the EZKnot http://www.ezknot.com |

mirrorlure hook replacement
Depends on the size of the lure, but on almost all my larger sized plugs
I have replaced the trebles with stainless steel Mustad double hooks. Double hooks are stronger than trebles for their relative size, and you eliminate the split-ring which is always the weakest link. These double hooks come in a variety of sizes, and they just slip right onto the lure eye. Spy in Hawaii |

Since I fish mostly with plugs I'm always having trouble with the hooks bending out or breaking or coming off, sometimes with the split ring. I tried those 3/0 4x trebles recently and had a 30 lb striper turn them into a weather vane the first time I used them. I don't like using singles either. -- Sphynx |

John, I have the same problems with my Mirrolures and Yo-zuri's.
Personally I don't think the Owner hook can be beat. |
