    Default Light wire hooks for crank baits


    Does anyone make light wire hooks for crank baits. I was reading That'sABingo thread and it got me to wondering.

    Mustad used to, and they were inexpensive. Been ten years since I looked for them, though.

    They do make a split ring that will stretch open and release the hook. You lose the hook but get your lure back. I put them on some jigging spoons that I bounce off the bottom for white perch. Pain to change out all the split rings though. Got tired of doing it on half a dozen spoons, can't imagine doing it for a bunch of crank baits with 2 sets of hooks, but it would be worth it in the long run I guess.
    I got mine at BPS. Might could use Google and find them elsewhere.

    Daiichi D99 (bleeding bait) are pretty thin wire but still good hooks. Using 12 lb test mon, never had an issue of not being able to pull out hooks from any of the premium (gamakatsu, owner, vmc, etc).
