My brother changed to 6x on his north bars and the action remained the same. NBs have a bit more action than the SS bottle though. I don't think the SS darter would swim at all with 6x. I can't seem to make them swim right of the package.
Seems like VMC hooks have gone to chit. Almost everyone I know has lost nice fish to straightened hooks this year.
VMC 3/0 6X front and back with split rings. I have messed around with many different arrangements over the years and have finally settled on this set-up. Landed fish to the high 40-pound class on this configuration without any problems this year.

Toby - which size splits are you using? triple rings?
