I replaced the split rings with wolverine split rings, replaced the cheesey hooks with 3/0 VMC's and got rid of the tail hook all together. It defintely improved the action of the tail. I've heard horror stories of the hooks snapping right off at the weld, and the split ring straightening out. Mike from M&D's said they were working on the problem. Some of the stick shads are coming in with new hooks, not sure if they are VMC's, but Mike said they were a slight improvement.
Having said all that, you'd think that a 33.00 Magic Swimmer would come with top notch hooks. Not much too ask for, considering the price of the lure. I wonder how much it costs to make one, can't be much more than 5 or 6 bucks.
