A Manual for Replacing Hooks

It can be a pain to figure out which size were on originally -whether you want to change/upgrade or not.
This site helps a whole lot:

Good info - thanks.

Now I don't have any excuse not to fix up this box full of old lure bodies with corroded off hooks. I knew I saved them for a good reason...

I use VMC hooks in sizes 4/5&6. I replace most hooks that come on the plugs. Some I upgrade a size or two,others I downgrade a size or two depending on how the lure works in the water.

And sometimes I think he just takes the hooks off and forgets ta put em back on "judging by his catchin"

That's just mean, give the old man break, the greatest generation ain't as young as it once was.
