Megabass Islide Hook Replacement and Stripers...???

Post by OG_ZILLION » Wed Jul 04, 2018 10:25 am

When it comes to JDM lures...it seems like everyone knows for sure that the hooks are going to be strong and sharp. Therefore you can fish them straight out of the box 'as is' without any hook replacment/modifications.

But...I fish in lakes and areas that have Stripers. They are very big and strong in these lakes and I have seen some bent hooks before from these stripers.

Does anyone know if the stock Megabass Islide hooks are strong enough for 20+ lb stripers...? If I have any doubts...should I replace them with strong hooks like Owner 3X strong...?
