Hooks on a Gamma 160???

(1/4) > >>

Andre van Wyk:
Hey all,

Another hook query!!!  :o ;D

What would be the best hook advice be for fishing Gamma 160's?

Please bear in mind I need to look at readily available hooks rather than impossible to get Decoys and GT Recorders and such... while I do have some Recorders, I think they are the 8/0 which are too big..

So if looking at ST 66's what I be best off with 4/0 or 5/0s?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
Dre

Brandon Khoo:
5/0s, Andre.
you wil get a much better action from a Gamma 160 with ST66s than you will with 76s.
8/0 Recorders will kill the action of the stickbait

Andre van Wyk:
Many thanks Brandon, appreciate the info... 5/0 66's it is!

Cheers

Luke Wyrsta:
I agree. Fukui-San likes 6/0 Recorders, which I believe are a similar size to the 5/0 Owner recommendation Brandon makes.

Brandon Khoo:
Gammas are a funny lure as far as hooks are concerned. Even for the 200, ST66 5/0s give the best action but the lure looks so strange with such little hooks on it!
