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. :thumbup: :thumbup:

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... :lol:

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.

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