Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Tackle & Techniques
SJ41 Vs SJ43
Mark Harris:
Ben, you could just save yourself all this and catch more fish by using trebles ;) .
Totally with Brandon on Owner's awful gold finish - it's a joke. Another reason to prefer Jobus.
Ben Rivers:
Mate (Mark), I usually only use trebles, but an old Nomad guide told me on a recent trip that your get a better more solid hookup with singles - so thought I'd investigate further.
I'm not fussed either way, I'm happy to use whatever works! lol
Mark Harris:
When you get a hook up with a single it definitely more solid Ben. However, you will get fewer hook ups than you do with trebles. Places I fish , there are not enough strikes to throw a significant portion of them away due to using singles ;).
Also, most (if not all?) designers of GT lures, design them with trebles in mind. It is very easy to unbalance a lure by fitting hooks that they were not designed to take.

yep, I really have no idea what I am talking about

Ben,
Use the 41's for the belly hooks on a baker rig, they work well. As for the tail hook use whatever you have Jobu's, SJ41's, SJ43's... Brandon has his own preference and experience. So choose either hook that suits the lure and put it on and go for it...
Remember fishing is something so simple, that we make so complicated, only to realise how simple it is. ;D
