Decoy Y-S21 BT Bladed Treble Hooks

The Decoy Y-S21 BT Bladed Treble Hooks combine a replacement treble with a swivel-mounted willow blade, giving you a way to add moving flash to a hard bait you already fish. Instead of switching to a different lure, you can experiment with a bladed hook and see how the added attraction fits your retrieve.

Each pack contains two hooks. Choose from sizes 8, 6 and 4, then check the fit against your lure's original hardware before making the change.

A Little Flash Without Starting Over

A standard treble does its job without adding a separate moving blade. The Y-S21 BT brings that extra visual element to the hook itself: an elongated willow blade hangs below the treble on a built-in swivel. It is a useful option when you want to experiment with more flash on a familiar hard bait rather than replace the whole lure.

The tradeoff is extra hardware. A bladed hook can change a lure's balance, resistance and rise or sink behavior, especially on small or finely tuned baits. Test the modified lure beside the boat or bank before fishing it, and keep the original hooks if you want to return to the stock setup.

The Right Pick for a Hard-Bait Experiment

Consider these for bass hard baits with replaceable trebles, such as crankbaits, minnow-style plugs or lipless baits, where the hook and blade have enough room to move. A steady retrieve is a practical starting point for checking blade movement. Then try changes in speed or short pauses and watch whether the blade interferes with the hook, lure body or nearby hardware.

Start in open water or around sparse cover where exposed trebles are manageable. Sunlight can make blade flash easier to see; in stained water, treat the added flash as something to test rather than a guaranteed advantage. Thick vegetation and snag-filled cover are less forgiving places for an exposed treble and hanging blade.

Key Features

• Treble hook with an attached willow blade.
• Built-in swivel connects the blade beneath the hook.
• Replacement-hardware option for compatible hard baits.
• Available in sizes 8, 6 and 4.
• Two hooks per pack.

Choose the Size That Fits Your Lure

Size 8 is the smallest listed option, followed by size 6 and size 4. Use the original hook size as a starting point, not a guarantee of fit: overall hook dimensions and the blade's movement also matter. Make sure the blade clears the lure body and the other hook.

Swap Carefully, Then Swim-Test

Use Halco Split Ring Pliers to open the lure's split ring and work the old hook off before fitting the replacement. Change one hook first so you can assess the effect, keeping fingers clear of the points. Inspect the ring for distortion and confirm that the new hook moves freely.

If a ring needs replacing, consider Spro Power Split Rings in a size and strength appropriate for the lure. Avoid adding unnecessarily heavy hardware, especially on baits whose action depends on precise balance.

Tackle Express Tips

• Compare the replacement with the original hook before installation, then check blade clearance through its full range of movement.
• Test the lure at slow and faster retrieve speeds. If it rolls, fouls or no longer tracks correctly, reconsider the hook size or placement.
• Keep stock hooks in a labeled compartment so you can restore the original setup when conditions call for a subtler presentation.

Before You Change Your Hooks

How many bladed hooks are included?
Each pack includes two Decoy Y-S21 BT Bladed Treble Hooks.

Will these fit every crankbait or jerkbait?
No. Check hook size, split-ring fit and clearance for both the hook and blade. Small baits and closely spaced hook hangers may not provide enough room.

Can a bladed treble change a suspending lure's action?
Yes. Added hardware can affect balance and buoyancy. Test the bait in the water with your normal line and leader before relying on its original suspension behavior.

Should I replace both hooks at once?
Start with one replacement and test the lure. That makes it easier to spot changes in action or fouling before adding another bladed hook.

Choose the size that suits your hard bait and give a familiar lure a new flash-focused presentation.
