I've been using the gorilla owners instead of the sj41. Don't rust anywhere near as quick and the point on the hook is better. Drive em into bone! Always spray my hooks, belly swivels on poppers with a lubricant too. Last ages and saves a lot of $.

Hi Chris, I have used the gorillas before, they have the same point as the SJ51's. I much prefer the 41's point, a lot finer and sharper.
I have also found the 41's corrode quickly if not looked after but cleaning 1 set of hooks is easier than 10!
But anyways this thread has drifted off topic ::)
Mark is the wall of lure going to be part of some sort of shrine?! :P

Hah! Kind of, it is all part of my grand design for a proper kit room (aka man-cave) :) .

Gotta have a man-cave. I am looking for property at the moment and one of the requirements is it needs to have a man-cave.

Nice collection Mark can't wait to see the other boards.
How's the preparation going for Southern Oman? - decisions decisions on which lures to choose.
I agree with changing hooks and not having every lure rigged, only takes a few seconds to split ring them on and off and also less chance of all hooks rusting and loosing sharpness when not used for some time.
Good luck for the trip hope you get a monster.

I don't want to harp on about this hook thing, but I spend a fair bit of time trying to get just the right hook combination for each lure so that it swims right and maximises the hook up rate. Most of them seem to work with something different, not to mention changing lure sizes and variations in conditions.
I might be getting a little old, but I have enough trouble working out the right hook combination for each lure in the first place........never mind trying to remember it in the heat of battle. Should it be Baker rigged with 11/0's and a Jobu or does this one swim better with a 5/0 on the belly and a 4/0 on the tail?...you know the kind of thing. This is made all the more difficult when you have quite a range of lure sizes and styles, as I see some of you guys have.
What do you you guys do? tote around a lure rigging chart or something? Or is there an Ipad app that you quickly flick to with the ungloved hand (he says tongue in cheek)?
