Replacement Hooks

[Paps]

Hey guys I'm in need of some replacement hooks for the following lures.

- Smith Camion SR (so that they suspend/very slowly float)
- Smith Jade MD
- Smith Shirasu Minnow 48 (size 16 Owner?)
- Strike Pro Pygmy II (size 16 Owner?)
- Smilin Jacks Raw Prawn 40
- Kakoda Sprog

I usually use the Owner ST36's but am open to other suggestions.
Also any advice on you're preferred split rings, I usually change or upgrade when needed to 00 Fine Wire Owners.

Cheers,
Michael.

DECOY!!! for both trebles and rings

the exact ones i can't recall....sorry

[Paps]

haha thanks for that Craig.. I've heard good things about the Decoys before.

Find out and spit some Product name/numbers at me!

[sammy]

bet me to it yeah with lighter line decoys for sure super sharp

[IceManDude]

I think it is the Decoy Y-S25 Trebles

size 14 is as small as i can find (unsure if the actually come smaller)

[Paps]

Cheers for that craig.. i could only find them down to a size 14 online so i guess your right!

Hows the size comparison compared to Owners?

A little exspensive too!

[Piscateur]

Owners or decoys cant go wrong between the two.

Cheers mate.

I'd love tips on sizes to go on the particular lures mentioned if anyone has done the same upgrades before?

I replace my Pygmy's with Daiichi 8110 size 12 trebles and find they balance up nicely.The Daiichis are similar gauge to ST 11 but are stronger

cheers for that mate.

I had an older Pygmy II that had the crappy silver hooks on it and changed them to Owner ST36 size 14s and found that it ruined the balance! But i guess the lighter gauge wire would make all the difference

Might check out the Daiichis also

Who has hanged the trebles on a Smith Camion SR before?
What did you replace them with?

Thats what i was looking to retro fit but my local had all sizes minus size 16!

so i ended up with a packet of 18s which are too small imo, looks like i'll be taking them back.

How did you find size 16 go with the buoyancy? I'm hoping to slow down their float a little bit, the 18s gave almost an identical float as the standard hooks.
