My brother ordered me a few crankbaits but they do not come with hooks. How do I figure out what size hook that I will need for them?

Thanks

Walter

What crankbait is it? Size 4 are good on most baits, but your bigger deep divers take size 2. If they are small baits smaller than 1.5 square bills you need size 6.

They are two to four inches long 3/8 weight. I don't remember exactly which ones he got me till they show up but I got three different bagley models.

Thanks.

I bet you would be good with 4's but could possibly get away with 2's if they are short shanks

It helps to understand how hooks can change a lures action and running depth. Here's a good article on the subject:
