    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

    Gibo you can quite easily turn a hobby into profitable sideline. I did and until I got sick it was very worthwhile pastime, certainly pays bills. You are making very exceptional lures there, well done. Soon people will be asking to buy their own personal Gibo lure. Also great Koha or pressies to those special to you.
