Title: Hooks for Craftbait GT3 150g Poppers
Post by: Paul Vogl on January 07, 2010, 12:34:52 PM

 Just picked up some of these. Can anyone give me an idea of hooks for these? Was thinking Decoy 6/0s or maybe ST76's in a 5/0

I think you're pretty much on the right wavelength with what you're thinking of

I just watched this episode (31st Dec), I'm pretty sure what Luke's using is a GT3, he goes through about rigging, hooks etc.. Might be of help to you..

And yes.. comes pretty close to gummy fishing!!  ;D

just make sure you end up comparing apples to apples - GT3 comes in 150g, 170g and 190g
