zx hooks on surface lures.

[seanh]

I'm just getting into hard body lures and surface lures. Yesterday I got some zx hooks to add to some surface lures. Has anyone had much success with these ?
It seems like a good idea because these hooks look like feelers.
Just interested to know if it makes a lot of difference.
Cheers

It's makes a difference mate, if try are boiling behind it , or not commiting to smash it. They will suck them Down under the water.

Have seen it , but not a fan of them, I would rather use the standard trebles.

hey mick you dont like them cause you could catch flathead on them

they are great when the fish are short striking. When they are in, you can put a bit more hurt on a fish

Do you guys rig them on the rear or middle of the lure?

[Dodgy back]

Don't agree Mr Wilson.

Have seen them in action and I can't be swayed to use them. Even if you can catch flathed with them.

Thanks for the replies. The guy is the tackle shop reckons they work well and uses them. I guess the proof will be in trying. I've yet to get a whiting on a surface lure and am pretty keen to get amongst it this summer.
They are very sticky little hooks though and I've finally managed to catch fish on the zx blades.
