Early Spring Fishing Lure Tune Ups

  What do you do in the early spring months before the ice is out.  Here at Hooksetter Supply we take the time to fine tune our lures and re-line our reels with new braided line.  Look over all your crank baits and lures for bent or hooks that need replacing.  You will find over time it is the small thing that usually come between you and that one that got away.  We believe in changing out every round split ring for an oval ring.  Oval spit rings are 50% stronger than traditional round rings and are self centering to keep the split off to the side where it should be.
  We also change out every treble hook and the spit rings that holds the hook.  We understand this is not in the budget for every angler but if you only do it to your go to baits it can be affordable.  We opt for a #3 Owner hyper wire split rings and Owner treble hooks.  The reason for the switch out is not all treble hooks are balanced correctly and a well balanced hook allows the bait to move correctly through the water.  We also like to use red hooks on certain baits and also like the advantages of using a thicker wire hook.
