Mr. Bigdeal Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Picked up a couple of Heddon Super Spooks from a friend...........was wondering if anyone uses these and if so do you change out the trebles fro a larger size............these seem smalll for saltwater although the packaging states Saltwater on it......... If you can change out the trebles what size would be appropriate and what effect would it have on the lure................? "The hungry Wolf hunts the best.... Why isn't John Moses Browning on Mt.

ToddMan Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 They are no good for Salt Water. Send them to me for proper disposal. <*)))><Stan Gibbs Cape Cod Canal Fishermans Classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket500 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I like the Rebel Jumpin' Minnow among the small plastic walk the dog types for saltwater. Change the hooks to 1/0 VMC's and you're in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samschreiber Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 awesome lure, easy to walk, only problem is paint. my paint always rubs off with-in a few fish. I would swap out the hooks, i have vmc barbarians on mine. ( not sure what size) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryG Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I really like them, they are a little cheaper than custom plugs however IMO plugs like afterhours are slightly easier to walk. I change all trebles out to VMCs with the barbs mashed down. you turn it, i'll toss it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket500 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Three sets of trebles on those, right? I would definately mash those barbs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XBMX Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 just happens to catch fish as is, heavier hooks detract from its action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striped Bass Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 They are good plugs I have caught fish in 45dgr water with them, the hooks suck but you can always replace them as needed.

shady grady Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Rinse the hook to prolong their life. I dont leave home with out it. The Rapala spook is really good too.A little heavier and catch's just as good. The best part of trashing plugs is making more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportyguy33 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 If the waters Flat Like I here it is Over there I don't see why the super Spooks wouldn't work. The Spooks Me and my close Fishing Friends use over here are about the same Size as the Zara Super Spooks. The one thing that seemed to be a constant was they didn't like the middle hook so they removed it and replaced only the front and tail Hooks with better ones. I personally like the Owner Stingers 3X STR-36 in Black Chrome. The size 1 would be the size you want for those Super Spooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bigdeal Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Would increasing hook size affect Spooks performance or removing the middle treble....? The hooks this lure comes with seem about right for maybe a Large mouth bass...........not saltwater version. "The hungry Wolf hunts the best.... Why isn't John Moses Browning on Mt. Rushmore?
