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 ?

Evil looking hooks there Steve.

They look like they will do the business, nice shape.

Perhaps to simplify, a size range using Gamakatsu GT Recorders/ Decoy respective equivalents sizes:
 6/0 = 7/0, 7/0=?? and 8/0=10/0 would cover the GT application for the places I fish anyway.

Look forward to seeing the new product, about time something new came on the scene as far as trebles go>

Chris Young:
I use 5/0,6/0,7/0,8/0 sizes based on Gamakatsu GT Recorder sizing.
Steve, any possibility of doing barbless?
Wish they made ST76 Barbless ::).

Callan Wallace:
I would be very interested in carrying these in my shop. Right now I have Owner and Decoy in my shop as well as VMC and am always looking for new terminal tackle that will do the job.
Cheers

Luke Wyrsta:
8/0 and 10/0 Decoy.

I would also like to see a 12/0 - based upon the Decoy sizing.

Chris Young:
Luke,12/0 would be one big heavy hook, I think only a small no of lures on the market could carry that size ;). Would be good, though it would also need to be thicker gauge wire
I know bigger is better most times but it is also easy to put on too big a hook, eg hooks should never be able to "hang up" on lure body. This can happen with too big a gape or too long shaft.
