less snaggy

[keen]

took both trebles off all my metal vibes and replace it with a single hook at the rear its one of those special lure hooks think gamagatsu[don't have a clue on spelling]. still got fish and didn't snag yet which is good cause in same area fished with trebles was an expensive morning

I've been thing of doing the same thing to some of my lures.

Definetly a good idea, vibes with the doubles on have less tendency too snag up.
I made some mods too mine, after losing a very effective vibe(and expensive) second outting.
It had a little tail section that flutters on drop, for added attention. So i made my own out of pepsi can!

I've been very impressed with the solid hookups with those Gamakatsu singles, they really hold in well thanks to the wider gape.

and even better is the ease to remove hook from fish

What size hook is it?

I bought a packet and put them my vibes and they are a little to big.

Hi Guys are you Aware that DECOY also do single lure hooks ???? ask your retailer about them !!!

Hi Gazza,

Everyone I talked to was not interest in getting in the smaller hooks with the rotated eyelette, I just stumbled across some Gama's in a Ranger store (complete angler more than likely does have them ).

Can I buy them off the net somewhere? I find it very hard to find Decoy stuff, and believe me I have been looking

Cheers

they are called vx35's yeah there fair bit heavier

ZipBaits Metal Face comes standard with Owner double hooks "snag less" makes sense really considering these type of lures sink to the bottom

The 30mm 1.7g Metal Beat also fitted with a heavy gauge single barbless, they're on the way to be available very shortly, 7 colours including "glow" for a bit of fun at night
