I have about 100 baits I need to replace hooks on. These are from around 1987 to 1989, Some are AC Shiners, Bandets, The old first 20+ and a couple of the Baby - baits. Whole lot of wooden baits that were killer baits back then. These almost made me kill a person, He had looked at my Big Possom Belly tackle box. Then did not pull out the flip up cover on the front or snap down the top. Well even bad he had moved it out of the basement and rain had filled it full of water. Guessing it had to sit there for a couple of months before I got home and found it.
There was around 300 baits in that box. Not junk, but baits I had faith in and could catch fish with. After digging through them all I threw away around 200 that has rusted the eyes off where they were not worth messing with. The rest has been stored and forgotten about, unit this evening. Came in from chruch and was hunting something else. When I stumbed upon the box that were placed in. So now that I have an intrest in bass fishing again. Plans are to add new hardward and good hooks. Pass some of them down to my grand son in a few years. Then some more down to the other grand son but hes only 1 LOL
Plus fill up all 7 air brushes and paint part of them, in colors I have been dreaming about working up.
Anyway back on point, Need to have a good ideal on the hooks that will not break the bank. But are worth adding to good baits. Guessing I will have to order 3 different sizes. So will just get 1000 of each and always use them to swap out some others I need to add good hooks to also.
between these and the 375 Rattle Traps I have that also needs new hooks. That should keep me busy for a while.
