Neil, what size Sergent JS-1 do you think I should have on my Lazer Pro 190s, I think I have 6/0 on the lure which looked OK but I would have to check [boat moored MYC], maybe they had nothing to do with why I lost the fish which seemed truly hooked and fighting [that's fishing].
 Iv'e  been replacing some trebles for singles for many years now, mainly the bottom hook. At a JT Fri night special I saw how you were using the Decoys on some Giant Tremblers and think it's a good way to go.

Laser Pro 190's seem to sit right in the middle between 6/0 and 8/0. I'm normally happy to run two 6/0's, but it's ok the run 6/0 on the belly and 8/0 at rear. I guess it's fair to say that not all hooked fish will be landed but the number of drop offs you mentioned seems unusual, hope you didn't buy a lotto ticket that day!!

I just got some of the new Owner SJ-51s in the mail. Bloody hell - they are of an even stronger guage than the Jobus!! How the hell is a little whimp like me ever going to drive a hook like that home?!  ???
If it swims; I want to catch it!

uh yeah -  they probably weigh as much as the 200g jig!
Have you seen them yet? They're like really savage - unbelievable guage on them. I'm going to tie them up on some zylon and attach them to my biggest stickbaits

Nobody tried the Gamakatsu Tuned hooks for jigging?  These are super strong and sharp as you would expect.  Since I tie all my own assist hooks, these hooks are exactly what I need.  I'd insert an image if I can work out how to do it without having to upload to another server!
