Newbie surface lure advice

<< < (2/4) > >>

Mark Harris:
Be wary of advice at the point of the sale  ???.

If you mean Owner ST66 5/0 trebles on their way ?, then you might just get away with those.  ST66 4/0 would be better. ST76 5/0 will just sink them!

Ben Furness:
Yup ST66's, I am planning on getting a good range as i also have 6 ADHEK poppers and 6 stickbaits on thier way as a present from my old man, he has no idea what size they are but they were recomended by one of the guys who works upstairs in the Shimano shop in Denpesar.

That would have been my good buddy Nengah!  As long as the brief was correct, I am pretty sure I know what Nengah would have suggested and you will not be disappointed.

Aaron Concord:
The Roosta will take a pair of 5/0 ST66's though a 5/0 belly and a 4/0 rear is a better bet.
The Lively Lures Big GT will take an 8/0 Decoy treble on the belly.  They are pretty round and chunky up at the front of the lure.
I have run a single 10/0 Decoy on these with a Colorado spinner bait blade off the tail, or an 8/0 belly 5/0 rear........it can take it better than you think.
Not familiar with the Maria stick bait, though it sounds like a twin 4/0 size lure!

Aaron.

Nigel Hagley:
Hi Ben

The best treble set up for "Big GT" is 7/0 in the Shoguns, Decoy 8/0 is borderline and looks a bit large on the lure but is still acceptable as the lure is pretty buoyant.

cheers
