It's everyone's choice if they want to change hooks and rings.
For 30 bucks you would think there should not be a need to That is the point most here are making I think.
As far as from a boat with light tackle, the small stick shad has junk hooks I wouldn't trust for a largemouth, I had one small schoolie trash the hooks from a boat with 7' rod and light line, it had nothing to do with canal current.

Yep, the work very well as designed.
Sometimes the bass like a subsurface lure and that stick shad fits the bill. they cast damn good too.

Nice thing about that sinking stick shad (5 1/4 oz) when you crank it in fast it flips on its side and comes up .. Nice not worrying about hanging up on the shoulder of the canal ..

That is a nice feature. The Megabaits used to do that too.
