I'm going to be getting a pair of split ring pliers to replace my worn out treble hooks. Can you recommend a brand of pliers? brand of new trebles? how do you size your hooks?

Thanks!

I bought real split ring pliers (the kind that jewel crafters use with the one point turned inwards) at my local Michaels craft store.

I started adding these to certain baits last year and they work deadly for pike and bass. And I agree with you when it comes to adding/holding a scent better, but after awhile they need to be changed up as they get kinda gummy.

MA, I switched to Mustad triple grips last year and they are deadly, especially from shore where the hook up ratio can be lessened. Make sure you have pliers though, cause you'll need them with those hooks.

With these trebles only being size 6 or 8's I use a pair of long handled hemostats that I picked up from shoppers drug mart. I used to have one of those old long handled plastic hook disgorgers with the thumb press, but it's currently resting somewhere on the bottom of Lake Simcoe.....
