I hate how we size hooks, can't find any info except some random number that not always makes sense, but enough with my ranting.
With this swimbait the recommended hook size was 4/0 so i have done the sensible thing (considering hook sizes don't make any bloody sense) and along with the 4/0 i also bought 6/0 which of course can't be fitted without power driving it through almost 6cm of whatever this swimbait is made out of and definitely getting a kink somewhere or another.
So i thought about why not gut the lure, i could have done a better job but this is just as an experiment, i can't take it out for a test drive so i'm asking: Why wouldn't this work?
Haven't seen anyone doing this before so i guess it would either be a bad idea, a kept secret or people just have a nice collection of hooks

I think the ultimate judge of if it’s a bad idea or not would be the fish in your area. I’ve partially given up trying to understand what they want haha.
Why not use a 4/0 hook?
Sidenote:
How do you keep you soft plastics? Do you take them all out and put them in the tacklebox or do you take just a few with you and keep the rest in their bags at home?
I’m in need of a good system for kayak fishing and i don’t know what i’m doing yet
