Definitely replace the hooks. Even on the ones that came with VMC, a while back, they were only 2X closed eye out of the package. The tin hooks are even worse than they used to be. Don't try and use triple split rings either - a good double ring like 5 heavy.
People have different opinions, but a lot people use them to good effect. There's more than one right answer. I think 6X is overkill, but that's just me. Don't lose sight of the fact that it's a cheap plastic lure, that's not thru-wired, that pre-dates braided lines. The eye and hook hangers are held on by plastic molding.
