I do the same thing. I swap the original hooks to red trebles and upsize on almost all lures. #6 Gammys I think I use. I've read that in many magazines, and heard it in seminars. You can buy split ring pliers which makes changing hooks very easy.

I change my hooks on both buck shots and jigging raps. I like the mustad triple grip short #6

Where do you find those split ring plyers?

I bought mine at Gagnon's in Oshawa, but I believe Sail also has them. Mine are made by Rapala, so usually anywhere that sells Rapala knives, scales etc.... has them.

Just run 4 lb line and you'll never straighten a hook

Can Tire has them as well and so do most sport shops. I prefer locally owned myself, check with Stacy at Pro Tackle.

Use another treble and stick the point between the rings then push it and snap the hook you intend to use or just use your nail...
