[size 3]I doubt that it will matter much at all. You added about .06" more length to the hooks by going to the next size split rings. Check to see if the hooks can hook up on each other or how easily the front hook catches on the line. I really don't think there will be any trouble. You my have to "tune up" your lure depending if it's swimming straight after the rebuild. Make sure and check it out before just sending it back to troll.
I use a size 2 saltwater split ring which is about the same size as the originals. I would also recommend using #6 2X saltwater trebles. I've had wipers bend regular Mustad and Eagle Claw replacement trebles. I have not had one 2X hook bend yet. JMHO....... [/size]
