Hey, does anyone know the size of the treble hooks I'd need for the Lucky Craft Flash Minnow 110 series?  Sportsman's had zero when I went and hoping to put on my list in Amazon, if they're quality.

I'd take brand recommendations too.  Also looking for the split rings.
Yeah, well...the Dude abides.

I’ll second the owner suggestion. I like the st-36. Whatever split rings you get make sure they are oval!

I use the Owner 3X, haven't caught any thing over 10 lbs... yet

I replace the stock oval split rings with SS round ones
If you don't mind me asking, what's your preference to the ovular split rings?

I don’t know what brand they are, I picked them up at the fishing shop but don’t have the packaging.

Oval split rings keep your knot away from the gap so you don’t have to worry about it cutting, and keep your hooks away from the gap so they won’t work themselves off. Not as needed for the hooks but def needed for the line tie.

Owner makes the oval split rings, I’ve also replaced stock round split rings with decoy egg snaps and vmc crankbait snaps for the line tie.
..........agarcia is just an ex-kayaker

There is already a wire loop in the front of the bait. I remove the split ring on the nose before even using it. Unnecessary especially if you use a loop knot or duolock clip.  I have landed big halibut and striper as well as perch and snagged rays (such a pain in the butt) without issue this way.  My logic is why introduce another failure point?
