Post by: Jason D'Angelo on September 15, 2012, 07:15:00 PM

hey all just gearing up for my up and coming trip
and have a hand full of mixed stickbaits and poppers
i have only ever used baby runbohs and now have some new ones to the collection
chasing big gts and dogtooth tuna

Just need some help in regards to your best proven way that works best
to rig

ASWB Stickbaits

and the Cubera 125 poppers

i no it can be done with treble, singles, baker rig etc
but would like to know what has worked best for you

and what hooks and sizes i should be matching them with.
Thanks

Jason, you will need to give the size of ASWB stickbaits to get a meaningful response.

Cubera 125s go nicely with Owner ST66 5/0 or ST76 4/0 trebles.

I put Shogun 10/0s on the ASWB 225 gram.  It's an evil looking combo  ;D

Not better, but they are available in much bigger sizes.
