Title: Hook sizes
Post by: NathanMcNiece on September 21, 2009, 10:51:01 AM

I recently went into fishhead to stock up for an upcoming trip to the whitsundays and also get a few poppers for around here in moreton bay.

I need some help with treble hook sizes for the following lures:
Fullscale kong 200 BIG
Cubera 125
Fullscale kong 180
Ebipop 140
Ulua 120
Jai bighead 130
Fullscale kong 180 BIG

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Mate i use on the majority of those poppers,

Decoy GT special 10/0
Owner ST76 5/0

But on the cubera 125 more than likely Owner ST76 4/0-5/0

Thanks Nathan
I have some owner st76's in 4/0 and 5/0 but I also have some baker rigs made up which i will put on some of these lures, does this rig work on certain lures better than others?

Thanks
Nathan
