+1 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.

I change the hooks before it hits the water. Had one straighten hooks on Falcon. That will never happen again. Short shank #2 and they don't change the action at all.

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to get those dang red rubber things off the hooks when you first buy them. Frustrating and almost a reason for me not to buy them again.

Owner hooks are balanced out and are the best hooks for replacements. They do not affect the action of your bait. ST-35's are a great starting point for a popper that requires thin wire hooks.

You mean UPSIZING and getting a STRONGER HOOK DOES NOT CHANGE THE BAITS ACTION AT ALL????????????????? I DOUBT THAT, by a lot. I would have to see it to believe it. Just my 2 cents worth, because I have caught a BUNCH of big fish on them w/o having the hooks straightened out. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

Thicker-heavier hooks do change the action of a yellow magic. I'm talking bout the little one. And if your gonna kill the action with bigger hooks then you shouldn't waste the money. Buy a 5 dollar pop-r and put big hooks on that

I use VMC short shanks on most my stuff. Using short shanks you can use a bigger hook.
Thanks,

Sorry about shouting guys, but I just couldn't believe that it doesn't change the action of the YM. Upsizing and getting strong hook most certainly will change the action of the YM. Sorry, again. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.
