Which hooks on Slide Swimmer 175?

Post by Drakestar » Sun Oct 24, 2021 7:18 pm

I got a Slide Swimmer 175 without hooks off eBay. I don’t have one of those yet (but I do have a Silent Killer 175) - is it the same hooks? If not, which hooks (size and weight) do the stock models come with? Looking to add replacement hooks that are close to the default.

1/0 IMHO, I think that's what they come with stock that's what I usually stick with when I used to chuck them on a regular, or sometimes ST-36 Owner's would be choice.

Oh and #1s would be slick too, should do the trick as they seem stickier and of course not as big profile as 1/0s not necessarily the same across brands so keep that in mind. Dependent in cover too I suppose

To cap this off, it's an Owner STX-58 Size #1 for the Silent Killer 175, and possibly for the Slide Swimmer 175, as well. (1/0 is bigger than those stock hooks, but might be the choice for 250s.)

I believe they are the owner st-46 2x tin needle points not the stx-58 3x hook. The 250 comes with size 1/0 and the 175 comes with size 1
