Snook 1 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 This seems more a flaw with gamagatsu. I bailed on using them for mullies on the beach because they snap. F**k them. I use BKK now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yellow door 1 1,786 Posted October 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Yeah my first experience with BKK was before they had established their reputation - (they were putting them on cheap lures from China) (It was cheaper to buy entire lure from China just to get your hands on the BKK trebles, than it was to buy Owner st-36ers in Australia) But now everyone knows they're good - they sell them in 9 packs and charge the earth. I like pushing the boundaries of my tackle just to know how hard I can push in the field (None of these are BKK trebles - but using hook like Gama's - in terrain like this - made me start testing all my tackle before getting it wet) Softy, Squid Inc. and Plectropomus 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve never replicated the tests he does but I trust his judgement. my experience with gama’s is through tt jigheads and they used to straighten without too much effort but I’ve seen enough bad press and snapped gamas on the internet To avoid them my experience with bkk is with their small trebles. I found them to be stronger than the owner st36ers I used to use. I also had Similar feedback from friends who were using them bit this was before I started testing things with scales and it was all based on feel and how they performed in the field Quote Link to post Share on other sites
