Changing hooks o a jitterbug?

[FishingNewEngland]

Over the last few trips, my jitterbug has taken a beating. The rear treble has been bent out a bit. Because it's not a traditional split ring set up, I'm not sure that I can switch the hook out. Has anyone taken the screws out and replaced a hook on a jitterbug successfully? I'll try and post a pic tonight after my son's baseball game.

You could probably cut the old hook off, then put on a split ring.  Not sure exactly what the jitterbugs are set up like, though...

I have unscrewed the "holders" and put new hooks on, but the real trick is finding the right hooks. The hooks that they use are a light wire hook, I want to put heavier hooks on, but I need to find the short shank 2x trebles and I just have not put the afford in to it. In short, you can change the hook, but if they are too heavy, you will not get the right action.
