I need new treble hooks for all my lures, where to get them?

As much as I rinse my lures off and keep them dry in my tackle box, the hooks just rust and I need to buy a bunch of them, at least a dozen of 2 sizes. What are the most corrosion resistant trebles I can get and could anyone suggest a good place online to buy them from?

well, if you have nice plugs, i would order some 6x VMC replacement trebles from mikecc, proprietor of M&D's in Wareham, MA who is a sponsor here:

don't forget matching split rings and a pair of split ring pliers if you don't have 'em.

VMC's rust, though. Can make them last a little longer by taking a black permanent marker to them.

You want VMC treble hooks. Not that they are incredibly corrosion resistant but because of their strength. Another is Gamakatsu. The Saltwater Edge in Middletown will point you in the right direction.

M&Ds (tackle shop in Wareham), aka Cape Cod tackle (online site). Best prices, great people, and I say go for the 4x VMCs.
