Chris..I have used the gamakatsu 16 heavy duty trebles and found them better than owners..They have a similar finish to the tuned gammies...with your links to them...would have thought you could utilize them. Wink

My 2 cents, sell them pre rigged with hooks/split rings to suit the price point. Most newbies don't own split ring pliers etc, the more experienced are likely to strip them anyway and replace the split rings and hooks with their own preference. In my case I take off the trebles regardless of brand and replace with single inline hooks.

this is exactly my way of thinking.

Just checking out availability of hooks, have the strong split rings already.

well...sure plenty of us on here will buy the nude version...so there is part of your predicament sorted.

Just need to recommend a suitable treble size/split ring for the lure to work well.

yeah...nah. I can be persuaded to go either way kinda AC/DC.

I hear what all you guys are saying but I am only getting replies from experienced, expert guys who would normally replace the hardware on any lure. The expert market is quite small when compared to the novice market. I want our lures to suit both markets and the only way is to sell them with hardware. Question is what quality can I get and at what additioanl price?

The big problem is getting decent trebles and rings (Owner or Gamakatsu) if available without a price blowout. I am also considering another hook which we could retro-fit ourselves. I hate double handling lures at NZ minimum wage. End result could be lures with good hardware, lures with reasonable disposable hardware or lures without hardware.

I might go the way of retro-fitting with good hooks and also offering lures without them and seeing what the preferences are. A little early to know just yet.

Just dont lock that stella up bro LOL

But the adrenaline rush is awesome!

My spheros has 20 kg of drag but i will never use it....It should enjoy life at 10 -12 kg.

I reckon set your drag reasonable in the first place and a little tweak as it takes off and then leave it alone! Not a fan of messing around with drag during the fight...if you crank it up,they get really pissed!

if you are lucky enough to get near the landing stage...ease the drag off a bit when it goes horizontal and gives up and try to keep its head out of the water(on an angle) and dont let it get it back...then it can thrash about with its tail and expell the last of its tantrum..Cant go anywhere without its head.Thats what i have always done anyway.enjoy the rush while it lasts as you could get spanked!

Good luck with it. Wink
