Hook inquiries for Basstrix, Luck E' Strikes
I am trying to get to the "bottom line" simple answer on the issue of proper hooks for these baits. Unfortunately, like most things, there is varying information . . .
Bassmaster did an article on the Basstrix and suggested Mustad Hooks with the lead poker thing that can be stuck in the front of the bait. The article did not say what size. An angler on the BPS comments section for Luck E' Strike mentioned using an 11/0 hook. I don't even know if I have every seen an 11/0. Is this dude serious? The Reaction Strike website indicates that the proper size hooks are 7/0 weighted for 6" baits, 6/0 weighted for 5" baits, 5/0 weighted for 4" baits, and 4/0 weighted for 3.5 to 3" baits. In all likelihood I will be purchasing the 5.5 Luck E' Strikes (the knockoff Basstrix) from BPS. What size hook and how much weight (1/16 or 1/8 oz)? |
