Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Tackle & Techniques

My new lure board....

<< < (6/11) > >>

Aaron Concord:
Tony,

I looked at your trebles and did a bit of math......I didn't like the outcome because it reflects on what I have spent on split rings and hooks, let alone the lures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is over 120 hooks there! Even if they are Shoguns (as opposed to Decoy or Gamakatsu), there is a few bucks just to keep them battle ready. 

Mark,

If for some reason, one of those boards doesn't fit in your room, I'll be happy to babysit it for you!
Very nice mate.
Nothing like walking into a really nicely done "man room" with all your toys displayed nicely!

Cheers,

Aaron.

Mark Harris:
Thanks Aaron.  8)

I am now going to make myself feel better by only owning a limited number of hooks and changing them around a lot rather than sets for each and every lure  :P .

kriss brown:
thanks mark for the reply.

hay guys
Please make those board kept coming.i can look at them all night long. ;D

Peter Childs:
Nice work Tony, I agree with you, armed and ready for battle!

We'll be the ones leaning over the side with the bent rods, not the ones fumbling around the floor of the boat looking for that 11H split ring - during a hot bite.

When you said you had a couple of FCL's, I didn't realise you were wall papering the house with them! 

What are you using to keep the hooks in new condition?  The down side of carrying everything pre-rigged of course!

I've been running the same 6 hooks for the past year! 3 on a popper, 3 on a stick all SJ41's 2 baker rigged 1 single. Takes no longer to change a lure as well as the hooks. If you get busted off then you usually have to re-tie anyway and I have new hooks on splits ready to go.
Sure saves me $ on hooks rusting away!
