I tried a 3.3" and 2.8" fat swing impact. Both baits fit well on the 1/8oz owner flashy swimmer hook. I have had hookup issues with anything over 3" on this hook in the past and today was not any different. I missed 6 fish before I switched and then I only missed one. I think the smaller fish will short strike the 3.3" and not get the hook. If you look at where the spinner blade is, if a fish strikes there they will only get the back half of the 3.3. The 3.3 is also a lot fatter, so it does not have as much room for the bait to slide. Here is the link to the YouTube video I made on this trip. https://youtu.be/jw7alyRQ0BM?si=P3Af62USSaUO9MVC
