Whitsundays trip.

Well if there's queenies where you're trying then you're a chance at GT's - they like similar water.

When you say 2/0 hooks which ones do you mean?  I've caught GT's on the hooks that come with the R2S dumbells but you're better off upgrading to something like maybe an SJ41 11/0 baker rig with single off the back. 

As for your splits - i've attached a picture of a stickbait that Warwick had destroyed by a 40kg GT the other day.  The wire is stretched, the owner hooks are bent and the swivel loops are straightened in part - the Owner #10 split ring didn't budge though.  They are rated to 220lb.  I know Brandon has seen them pulled apart on other occasions though.  So those Decoy ones should do for now - don't discount going heavier though.

im using 2/0 owner st66 trebles. for the dumbell pops and similair size poppers wudnt an 11/0 baker rig be too big? what does the baker rig consist of?

NathanMcNiece:
is the baker rig just the sj41's cable tied together? and a jobu off the back? what size jobu would you use or decoy jigging single?

Yeah the baker rig is two singles zip tied back to back.  You could use a Jobu off the back - we were using 9/0s the other day, they are big hooks though - maybe scale down a bit for the r2s and halcos.  For the baker rig SJ41 11/0s aren't huge hooks - they are big in the SJ51s though.  If you wanted to go smaller try the SJ41 9/0s. 

NathanMcNiece:
ok what size jobu would u use for the R2S 150 and roosta 135s? are docoy jigging singles any good for a single off the back?
