black magic split ring pliers are the chiz you only need take about 8 - 10 hook sets and it take little time to change them if you take the ring and hook off at the same time it is very easy.

on a trip to Samoa last year i changed the sets as we went from place to place to try the different lures and you only have to have about 4-6 sets off each size you need

its not about having hooks on every lure when you travel as you can only cast 1 at a time

The minor cost difference between Owner and lesser hooks will be forgotten after landing a PB, or long remembered when a lesser hooks fails.

Go for the owners, at least the st66 ones.  If you are going to use trebles, only use them on the front and put a single on the tail.  First, you will not need as many trebles.  Second, the rear treble has a tendency to really cut the fish up badly on the side and under the belly.  Since I can't get good singles in Tonga, I use Longline tuna hooks with the welded ring on top.  The ring allows the hook to point up on the tail without needing 2 splits.  Do not forget to flatten the barbs, the one that gets away will thank you  Clap]]> Wed, 13 Jun 2012 05:51:37 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=79605&PID=1136890&title=cheaper-alternatives-to-owners#1136890 <![CDATA[Cheaper alternatives to Owners? : A wee while back the new owner...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=79605&PID=1136885&title=cheaper-alternatives-to-owners#1136885 Author: ReelAppealLures

A wee while back the new owner of OTI contacted me about trying out his hooks... The price is right but I don't have any experience with them...I have a sneaking suspicion that OWNER used to OEM for OTI, but I don't know if they still do, as I remember bulk amounts of Hyper Wire split rings being sold unpackaged...For 5/0 or bigger trebles just buy Owner ST66, ST76 are for truly monster class fish and are very large gauge hooks you will need a broom stick to set them.

I will send through a PM 2cold...

Here's a link for what its worth...Inline singles look good too.

Those booty VMC, whilst not being as anywhere near strong as ST66, are ok and a lot cheaper. They're lighter too so need to tune your lures accordingly.

You could always just get a few sets of good trebles and change them around your lures via your splits, bit hard to fish 30 lures at a time. Get the best and live without regrets. Get some of those owner free draining treble caps and this will make it less of a hassle to do so. Got them on all my lures and they are the goods, make fishing life so much easier and hassle free.
