    Yes. But I'd go for bigger doubles.

    Was such a cool morning, me and a random bloke only ones there. Massive school of them came through. He hooked up, I hooked up, dropped mine, cast again, hooked up. landed mine, 91cm tagged and sent away. He landed his, 75.5cm hooked in the tail, tagged and sent away. His first ever and on top water. Pretty stoked for him, he'll be hooked now! His fish flew out the water when it hit

    Fixed it, I hate those things. If I catch a fish I invariably hook it so the mouth is hooked shut. Failing that I'll just hook everything else, clothing, rope, fingers, ...

    That lure looks a cracker and well done on the fish.

    2 singles run points inwards towards each other work well.when clamped in jaws the pointy bits go out to help hookup. all our trout lures have had trebles removed and replaced with singles......now anyone know where to buy good old school single hooks...straight shank large eye like the ones tassie devils have as singles........ cant seem to find stockist of mustard anymore,down to last dozen worm hooks (eels get released long range,hook attached) tried a few different modern types but old mustards are the best.

    plurry good work on the kingi....your lure works...good shit bud...good shit indeed.

    What is the wood Gibo?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
