Those VMC hooks weigh just shy of 12g, about the same as an ST66 5/0. The wiring is ever so slightly thicker but not much in it. Not a hook i use these days in this size and certainly not a hook for S Oman.
It will just about take 2 x BKK GT Rex 5/0 (14g) but probably better with the 4/0 ST76 (13g) as it is quite a compact lure.
I'm looking forward to using it as it will not get shredded by the hooks and waterlogged like my go to Cuberas.
Great information Dennis. It would be great if there was a chart out there for what hooks work for each lure. I'm sure there's a heap of guys out there that know off the top of their head.
