Do not skimp on the split rings or this happens and you drop a 6 boatside.

What size are those vmc hooks "w"?Just thought about this but by putting one size larger hooks on a baby skitter or a spook jr. Would it walk in the water the same or would it change the presentation???

Off my head I can't recall size but I matched the hook size for the spook jr and skitterwalks

I'm a true believer in changing out the hooks . I swap with EWG trebles n hook up ratio is way better.

You can get all the sizes at Academy

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.
