Mark Richie:
G'day all,

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these trebles?

I'm more inclined to put singles on poppers and sticks but on a recent trip, I snapped a single on the belly and stupidly forgot to bring spares. On went a random treble I found in my gunnel and I felt the popper sat and swam better than when I had the single.

So I thought I'd grab a pack of trebles to test out and these BKK jobbies definitely look the business. Super sharp point and look/feel sturdy enough. Has anyone thrown them around who can weigh in?

Chris Dennis:
I've used the 5/0 on my last trip to the Andamans with no major issues.
They are comparable size wise with Owners. At 14g they are slightly more robust than an ST66 (12g) but still quite a bit lighter than an ST76 (18g). They are a neat, well finished hook and it's a shame they aren't slightly heavier (say 16g). Having said that I will happily continue to use them under the right circumstances.
I believe Ed (No Boundaries) has been using the 6/0 & 7/0 in S Oman

Brandon Khoo:
They are an excellent treble. I find them extremely sharp and tgey go really well with lures that are sensitive to weight like the Gammas

Chris Dennis:
What size are you using on a 140 or 160 gamma Brandon ?

Brandon Khoo:
I use the 5/0 on both the 140 and 160, Chris. Don't go bigger than this as it retards the action of the lures. The general rule with gammas is go as light as you can
