Full scale pencil poppers
December 27, 2009, 10:07:45 PM
Hi

Just wondering which hooks would suit these pencil poppers best..5/0's trebles on the belly and rear, or a single jobu on the rear - if so which size...

cheers

It will perform best with 5/0 trebles front/rear. I have also found an assist rig on the back works well.

Cheers..I rigged it with 6/0 decoy middle and 8/0 jobu on the rear. These decoy hooks are probably the same as a 5/0 or 4/0 st66n.  Will try the other one with 2 trebles and see how it goes.

and the blue one looks just as good! The line was here waiting for me when we got back so will be spooling up and putting them to use very soon.
