Default Hook/Jig Question for my lures

Ok gents...to those of you that have used or seen my baits I want you opinion on the hooks and jig heads I am using.

I prefer Mustad Ultrapoint hooks...just my thing. I use the worm hook
style for weedless applications. usually 3/0 or 4/0...

The jighead is a 4/0 hook...

do those of you that have tried or seen my baits think I should use different
hooks/jig heads??? Stay the same??

I do use the quick clip so you can change the hook easily for your preference...

But I need to order hooks and wanted to ask opinions before I do...

I wouldnt go bigger than 3/0 for trout/red leadheads. A lot of mfgs do but that large hook looks ridiculous.

I prefer the 4/0 hooks. I think it increases hookups and decreases loss. Also makes it easier to get fish off hook after catching.
