Best Wiggle Wart Replacement Hooks

[*T*]

Know this has been discussed many times here, but didn’t find info in a quick search. Appreciate best suggestions. Time to prep for WW bite. Have bunch of pre-Rapala ones to update. Thanks.

The best trebles I have ever found are Daiichi Deathtraps. Owner and VMC tie for second place with me.

BTW, anyone who brags that they have a "bunch of pre-Rapla" warts is inviting a burglary.

No, a bunch = 12-14.  Not like some of the collections I’ve seen on here. But I fish mine.

You might want to avoid upper Bull Shoals or your 12-14 will become 6-8 pretty quickly with the Zebra mussels.

look at the bright side, they would be easier to count.

Now RPS, you are not suggesting that fisherman would steal from fellow fisherman. I always thought that any theft concerning fishing tackle had to be kids. Many years ago, I had a neighbor kid take a tackle box from my boat sitting in my driveway. Before I even discovered it missing, he got to feeling guilty and returned the box along with a note with a apology for taking my box. He even signed the note. My, how times have changed! You always seem to come up with good advice. It must be your teaching instict taking over! Oh yes, I agree the Daiichi deathtraps are the best! Has anyone seen them in a #5 treble? I think the stock hook on a wart is a #5.

He probably opened the box and thought wow, no wonder this dude never catches anything.

This answer for the win.

Only other option for me is a #4 KVD Elite on the front hanger and a #6 on the back.

Daiichi Death Trap or Owner Stinger for me .

For warts, I’m a big fan of the #5 gamakastu Aaron Martens finesse treble. They are super sharp, and light wire so they penetrate fast on a light bite. 

The same trebles also work well on jerkbaits if a heavy wire hook causes a suspending bait to sink.
