magic swimmer ?

No it won't you'll be good.

Does it really matter? If you can't land a good fish on a plug because it has weak-assed hooks, it's pretty much useless no matter how well it swims.

Change out the hooks. The fish likely won't be able to tell the difference, and I can almso guarantee that you won't

just got back from fishing and I slammed em again on magic swimmer. I replaced with 2/0 4x vmc and ended up with one bent hook and one lost hook and split ring. I think I just have to accept the dammage for the results. High maintenance plug!

You might be able to go up to 3/o on the belly but I don't think you would want to do that on the tail. I keep forgetting to put that thing in my bag. They need to make a black and purple!

I've changed the hooks right after I bought it . (2) 4/0 belly hooks and nothing on the tail. Swims great and fish love that thing.

Similar situation on the Saltiga plugs....they catch fish better than any swimmer I've used, but the hooks are worthless from the store.

Pretty frustrating when you pay that much for a plug with blatantly defective hardware, but the results are so good that it is worth it.

I picked one up and was told to lose the back hook completely which I did to avoid fouling on the cast. I replaced the other 2 with 3/0 vmc's. I only have one small fish on it so far. How are you fishing it??????
