think you will find trebles are IGFA legal on plug style lures( minnows, poppers and stickbaits)]]> Sat, 04 May 2013 20:50:04 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=90453&PID=1295297&title=stick-bait-hook-set-ups#1295297 <![CDATA[Stick Bait Hook Set ups : I messed around with the oceas...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=90453&PID=1294242&title=stick-bait-hook-set-ups#1294242 Author: laidbackdood

I messed around with the oceas and starwalkers ages ago.................They suggest 3/0 owners on the oceas but i found they swam better with 7/0 in line shoguns and 9mm owner split rings......I tried the starwalker with both 3/0 and 4/0 owner trebles(as suggested)....I found the 4/0 were too heavy for the surface lure and the lure took to long to come back to the surface after the sweep.....I even found the 3/0 did to some degree too......I found the 7/0 shogun in line and 9mm splits got the best action and return to surface ready for the next sweep.....I also found short stabs produced a walk the dog action too......take some trebs/8 or 9mm splits and some inline 7/0 (they are a good size for those lures/tried the 8/0 but prefer the 7/0)..split ring pliers......you can test for yourself and then tell us what you think...I like the oceas coz they have rattles...Good luck.
Think these were 8/0 on here...so i scaled it down to 7/0......To me the lures were more lively than with trebles......Dont go too heavy on the leader too as that can  effect  the action a bit......I have other lures like sams RAL that are made just for in line straights but i have a few other lures that fish an owner treble on the belly for stability and a inline single on the back......Its a good idea to ask the supplier but dont be afraid to experiment.Its all good fun.Wink

lack of friction and lost drag when using singles in place of trebles? If you  add a small bib like attachement to the split ring to mitigate the lost friction?
As long as it didnt impact the hook presentation that might get you best of both worlds.

Im yet to see a stick bait that swims all that effectively with singles or a bakers rig. I've
swum a heap of stickbaits and even the ones that claim to swim singles well dont. unfortunately I'm convinced trebles are a necessary evil. They do so much to swim the bait well. They're just frigggen deadly and dangerous. Expect damage to ballistic rats. If you want more of a chance to catch kingies use trebles. If you are a full time sports fisherman who is constantly fishing mad mad frenzied kingies then use singles. but in those situations almost anything can work. Id be keen to opt on to them when that's happening. get your self a few different sized owner st66 and owner splits and play around with them until you have the right balance for each lure. Good stick baits are highly sensitive to the right rigging. It's all about the right swim action in order to catch them in the first place.]]> Tue, 30 Apr 2013 08:29:31 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=90453&PID=1293441&title=stick-bait-hook-set-ups#1293441 <![CDATA[Stick Bait Hook Set ups : ANGLER MANAGMENT wrote: i...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=90453&PID=1293334&title=stick-bait-hook-set-ups#1293334 Author: Cheeko

What lures are you casting Cheeko? This will help with recommending hook choice...

I'm yet to come to a decision on the whole single v treble debate, both can kill fish and damage both fish and angler... Guess that is what happens when your casting sharp needle points around. I have yet to find a consensus amongst the charter guides around the world too...
 
Cheers, I bought one of the Shimano Ocea's and also have a Starwalker, both in the 180-185mm category.  I won't be forking out $200 large on a carpenter Smile
