Doing some hook work on a few lures and was wondering how much sizing up my hooks on some Wiley Musky King Jr's will effect how they run. I believe the stock hooks are a 3/0, I've got some 5/0 hooks I was thinking about throwing on in an effort to increase my hookup to net ratio on them. I had a couple fish spit out a Wiley king jr after hookup lately. I know I can't land them all but losing them after a good hookup turns me into a muttering,self deprecating psycho path.

I go up a size or two on a lot of baits, each is different on what it can tolerate and not lose action. Only way to know is if you try. On many three hook baits I'll go up three sizes and only run one belly hook.
