Split rings.... academy or local tackle shop. Sulphur tackle sells em but thats kinda outta your way. Make sure you get something durable and compares sizes to whats on your other lures. |

I use needle nose plyers and a knife.
Hold the ring with the plyers and then incert the knife [about 1/4 turn away from the end of the ring wire] to open up a gap so the new ring can be installed on the lure. After you get the new ring stuck through the eye on the lure..... then you also put the new tribble hook on the split ring. Using the plyers, rotate the split ring so that the ring turns to mount the split ring and the new hook at the same time. |

make sure you get the same size hook. The extra weight can change the action of the bait

Those VMC trailer hooks are on sale at the Academy in Lafayette for a $1.27 for a 4 pack. Just bought about 10 packs should be good for a long time. |

A good pair of pliers makes it much easier. I can change out a Spook in about 2 minutes. Stout rings also make it easier. Once they open...they don't twist.
