The problem with changing hooks is that they don't want you to be able to change the hook without the pliers. So what they do is that they put in a split ring that is like really tough to split. I tried to get the hooks out and I took the first lure and I struggled for a bit but after a minute I got it and I managed to get the hooks out. And since it was easy to get them out I pulled the hooks out of the split ring with no hesitation thinking that I will be able to put them back if I needed to. Then I took a Savage Gear lure and the split rings that they have on their lures is just impossible to split to get the hook out without the pliers. I tried other woblers but still I just wasn't able to get the hooks out so after that I just throwed the lures back into the box and I thought that I will get the hooks back on the first lure but suprisingly it is way harder to get the hooks back than getting the hooks out. So now I have a lure that has no hooks on it and I have no idea how do I get the hooks back. I wanted to change the treble hooks for single hooks because the single hooks don't hurt the fish as much as the treble hooks. I didn't want to do it but it looks like I will get the split pliers anyway. After all I guess it is better that I know I won't be able to do it without the pliers and I the next time I will order something I will get the hooks with the split pliers and I won't have to pay the shipping twice.
