I'll usually fish the stock hooks until they have bent out a couple of times.

Springers IMHO like a tighter action, faster vibration, so I'll use larger size of treble hooks. This also keeps them from being hooked deep, wich is nice where selective harvest is desired. Looks more like they are talking on a banana phone so it's eazy to reach down with the extactor and release the hooks from the jaws.

Fall fish seem to have more developed jaw bones and prefer the wider wobble. I like to replace the stock hooks with a similar size; Owner, st-36bc 1/0 on the K15- 2/0 for the K16.
