we tried a couple on the weekend, worked pretty well... had some strikes from some big GT's but didnt hook up on the williamson. We rig them the same way you would normally rig a gt popper.

Their action is good, but if you upgrade to bigger HD trebles the extra weight makes them sink slowly, therefore singles are the way to go.

one of the boys hooked a king on one of these two weeks ago(after I had offered to replace the hooks for him) and managed to straighten 2/3 of the tail treble >:(

My yo zuri bulls worked just as well with the upgraded terminals and I managed to land all of the kings hooked ;D

so if a smallish king can do that imagine what a GT will do :o
