Interesting comments about the number of fish dropped!!
From the photo's it looks like alot of people using SJ-51's ?? or 41's??
I have just purchased a bunch of SJ-51 no. 9/0 and 11/0 in order to practice for an upcoming nomad trip. Hooks look very sturdy but it appears quite a bit of work may be required to get a good hook set in some instances!!!
A Balinese GT fisherman recommended putting a little grinder work on the points of the SJ-51 as he said he had issues with hook sets and this mod was working for him!!
I had this in mind, I'm more convinced now after having a good look at the hook. It seems I can easily draw blood from my fingers with the owner, gakamatsu and decoy trebles fumbling in my tackle box, less so with the SJ or Jobu!!
I also note a treble used in one photo, what is the official nomad line on this?
Nice pics, beautiful fish.
Cheers

I don't think I've ever been on a trip where I have seen so many fish dropped and believe me, I've been on a few! I just can't understand it. I had a few drop off after I had really driven the hooks home. Everyone else had the same problem and it happened all through the previous week as well.
Nothing to do with the hooks, I think.
