Match hook size to lure size carefully so the hooks won't catch on each other. If the front hook is catching on the line, consider downsizing one size. Depending on cover and a lure's front or middle hook placement, sometimes an upsized tail hook can be added without altering the action.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe short answer to the question of choosing treble hook size is, \"the biggest hooks I can get away with without killing the action.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eOften that's a size or two larger than the hooks packaged with the lure. That said, sometimes hook size can be used to dial in an \"in-between\" action or a particular action for the conditions. Similarly, a popper rigged with upsized hooks might float a little \"lower\" in the water, resulting in more water resistance when it's twitched.

Match hook size to lure size carefully so the hooks won't catch on each other. If the front hook is catching on the line, consider downsizing one size. Depending on cover and a lure's front or middle hook placement, sometimes an upsized tail hook can be added without altering the action.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe short answer to the question of choosing treble hook size is, \"the biggest hooks I can get away with without killing the action.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eOften that's a size or two larger than the hooks packaged with the lure. That said, sometimes hook size can be used to dial in an \"in-between\" action or a particular action for the conditions. Similarly, a popper rigged with upsized hooks might float a little \"lower\" in the water, resulting in more water resistance when it's twitched. And big heavy trebles can deaden the action of a crankbait, which might be good or bad depending on the situation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swimerz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47711898107988,"sku":"93MC000101104","price":8.69,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/3112\/0212\/files\/Swimerz_Striker_Trebles_Goup_099a8833-e1f9-4694-82be-39374d8007c8.png?v=1789959898"},{"product_id":"93mc000240150","title":"Swimerz 4\/0 Inline Circle Hook 15 pack","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/lbjleqsnl\/image\/upload\/v1552272244\/Fish%20Images\/14.2_-_Blue_Nosed_Salmon_Swimerz_Circle_Hook_Orange_Lumo_Bead_Vike_0.5oz_Tungsten_Barrel.jpg\" style=\"float: right; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; margin: 10px; height: 300px; width: 300px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eCircle Hooks have been used by commercial fishermen for decades due to their ability to efficiently catch fish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eFish hooked in the corner of the mouth or jaw tend to fight better than fish that are hooked in the gut — and circle hooks mainly hook up in the corner of the mouth or jaw.
