It's important to note that not all crankbaits require immediate hook upgrades but many less expensive models do. Even though higher-end lures often come equipped with quality hooks; the decision to change those as well depends on individual needs and preferences of the angler.
However, understanding the potential benefits of upgrading hooks can help bass anglers optimize their crankbait performance and potentially increase their catch rates.
Take a few minutes and watch as bass pro Bradley Roy reveals the reasons why he often changes out the stock trebles on his crankbaits as well as other hardbaits...
I recently purchased several "low-end" crankbaits to use around heavy cover and was quickly reminded why treble hook upgrades are important.
Though the baits did a great job of getting bass to strike, I had a hard time keeping them pinned on the stock trebles. After changing out the stock hooks to higher quality options, my landing percentage rose above 75%. The change was definitely worth the cost for the upgrade!
