Ever lure I own has oversized red hooks and I have changed the opinion of many friends over the last couple of years as well. I truly believe I have caught fish that I would not have with factory hooks. I hang on to a lot more short strikes for sure. If its money your worried about on the upgrade Mustad makes a great wide gap red treble that I have on most lures....I also have some Yo-zuri trebles on some as well they are a little pricey but nice gap and shank length.
