1 - A broken ring pliers
The broken ring pliers are the tool to have before starting to replace hooks on lures. The small hook at the end of the pliers makes it easy to open the broken ring, to detach it from the lure or change the hook very easily. With small broken rings, it is possible to open them without pliers, but once they reach a certain size, pliers will soon be indispensable.
2 - Broken rings of different sizes
It is important to have several sizes of broken rings before starting, as it may be necessary to change the size of the rings to accommodate the new single hooks. Also, this is often an opportunity to replace the original broken rings with stronger models.
3 - Simple hooks of different sizes
I'll go into more detail on how to choose the right hooks to match the lure in the following article. Just as with split rings, it's important to have several references of single hooks on hand before you start. While there are some noticeable trends, there are no hard and fast rules for choosing the right size of single hooks.
Very often, it is a question of feeling and in this case, having several sizes of hooks with you is necessary, to get closer to what you want. Moreover, the same lure can have 2 different hook sizes at the same time, hence the need for multiple references.
