AustralianAngling:
I am in the process of make new treble hooks sample's been made now.
Photo of hook has been edited to show re curve of point to manufacturer.
Will also have small barb which can be crimped.

My question is what hook sizes are you using.6/0, 7/0, 8/0, 10/0 ?

Brandon Khoo:
Steve, the difficulty is that every manufacturer has a different idea of what the hook size means!
I use Owner ST76 5/0s, Gamakatsu Recorder 8/0s and 7/0s and Decoy GT Special 10/0s myself.

AustralianAngling:
Brandon

Yes sizes vary a bit I have size chart for current brands,I will get samples in a variety of sizes and then decide which ones I will make probably following Decoy sizing.
So can you please advise what brand you are also using when advising size.
Also no more Decoy hooks in GT Special in the larger sizes avaialable.

Brandon Khoo:
I have been hoarding the GT Special 10/0s so should be fine for a while!  :D

Greg Burt:
Why am I not surprised  ;) :D
