I think they #2s ,also most bass pro fishermen up size there hooks at least 1 size with very little effect if any to the action of the lure especially a big billed bait like the bandits.

Sorry after close examination of the hooks on the bandits,they are #4 hooks,measured &compared they looked big to me for #4's but they are just a longer shank

I had a hook break on the very first walleye I ever caught on a Bandit. I hate trying to untangle 3 hooks out of the net every time we catch a fish too! Those are 2 things I don't like about Bandits.

I use to have issues with my net's also, but about 15 moons ago I thought I would try dipping it in urethane, got hard,would not allow the hooks to penetrate the net cords,best thing i ever done for my net, now they have rubber dipped,not the rubber net, they also make one they call hook proof :-)

I though the custom painted bandits from DJ's came with Gamakatsu gonna on them. Not sure on size, and maybe I'm thinking of something else, but I thought for sure I'd heard that he switched them out for better quality hardware.

Maybe it was his harnesses that had the good ones on them. Oh well, thanks for the clarification.

I know for a fact DJ DOES replace the stock bandit hooks but they are not gamakatsu...at $2-3 per hook there's no way a custom bait maker could sell.a bait at a price anyone would buy with those hooks
