Hey Guys, After landing a few mulloway, flathead and small salmon on my double clutches it has become clear that as deadly sharp that these hooks are. They bend and snap after a few good fish. I currently own 8 double clutches and need to replace hooks on 6 of these. Have heard the owners in the same size are a much stronger hook but are heavier. I am sure many of you have had to replace these hooks so what has been your go to?

We replace them all at work with Owner ST36 trebles.. As far as I'm aware the daiwa trebles on the double clutches in the 60 and 75mm have "finesse" trebles designed for bream, trout, redfin etc and suited for light finesse fishing.

Hi,you'll want the "Owner ST-36BC X size 10" Model #..5636-011 https://www.fishingtackleshop.com.au/products/owner-treble-hooks-st36-bc-model-light-guage.html

Not much of a whinge I lost two of my favourite lures this week . Went into a tackle Shop near my parents place . I've told them before nicely that the old rule that of only lures with orange bellies work . Told them nicely before things have changed clear or see through do the trick now . I know I was one who always said that but I've listened to younger fishers clear or see through are the go . I replaced my totally see through and another one with green . To be told they don't work if the waters dirty or its windy you need the orange belly . Umm today it was 20 or 30 knots dirty water lande

Yeah those 'SASQWA' or something to that effect are sticky sharp but bend easily. I've always gone to owners and haven't found it affects action too much. However, the owners I used (size 10 ST36 BC) still bent out after a good session. So if you're changing hooks on the 75mm or less lures, maybe keep an eye on it after you get a lot of decent fish. Particularly the front treble; always seems to cop a hammering on mullys and such. (I know the treble was too small for the lure, it's just all I had one me at the time)

I reckon you use what works for you - simple

The colour charts that PP is talking about above I've sworn by on some sessions then completely thrown them out the window on others. I do believe UV plays a massive part in a quality jig though as they have been some of my most successful. That being said a jig with no UV still catches squid. All it takes is a nice silhouette of a jig flicking past a squid to attract it's attention and getting that jig into the right spot / zone like the other guys have said is the most important factor in my opinion. If the squid don't see the jig it doesn't matter how bright the UV, how pretty the colo

You'll find the biggest colour we sell at the shop is the "Green orange Yellow Jag" which is very active in UV. Uv works as an all rounder as it works on most occasions as it changes with the light conditions. UV is only on brighter colours as it can adapt to light conditions alot better than darker colours.... We have had to Keep up with Extra stock of the Yo Zuri HS jag because I sell what works and have always have positive feedback from that particular colour.

Good luck on Monday Noz. Not too many being caught down there this morning. The more I squid fish the less I believe colour make a difference. My go to at the moment recently caught squid at night, in the middle of a sunny day, in murky as water and in crystal clear water. So I'm not sure those colour charts for certain colours at certain times on bright/dull days are not worth a crock of shit. Just my humble opinion. As said before get the jig down into the zone the Squid should be lurking is probably the most important factor. Emeraldas Nude Mango Shrimp, my go to ATM, pulli
