Just curious, have any of you replaced the hooks on the Yellow Magic? If so, which ones did you go with?

Owner Stinger!Stronger hook than the original hook and it doesn't take away the Yellow Magic's action.

You can get YM brand replacement hooks at most YM dealers

I know the hooks are light, but I have found others to modify the action on them, so I back off my drag and play the fish down. This is NOT my standard, as I prefer to get the fish in as quickly as possible, to get them out of their living quarters. The YM hooks are so sharp and I cannot find anything as light as the hooks, so I just back up on my drag and let the fish play itself out. I have caught several over 7 and 8 lbs on the standard hooks, but MOST people DO change the hooks, because the YM are weaker than most hooks. To each his own. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

The YM hooks tend to break over time I always replace them!

Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

The YM hooks are so light that I have been afraid to change them out due to screwing up the action of the lure. Also I have never had an issue with losing fish due to the hooks failing. The bigger fish that I have caught that could potentially straighten out the hooks are usually hooked to deep to do so. Now if those same hooks came on any other bait with trebles and you better believe

they would be replaced before that particular lure sees the water!

I don't change a thing on them.... have landed many large bass with zero issues. Different hooks will change the action and weight of the plug. There's a reason they out catch any other popper bait, so why mess with it.
