Thanks for the thumbs up Jorge - yep sometimes trebles make a massive mess regardless of barbs on soft mouthed fish. Its great there are options.

never heard of that one! Tell us more!

Hey Joe - flatteneing trebles does a few things: makes hooks penetrate deep easier protects the fish if it reefs you (it's easy for the fish to shed the lure) It protects you and other anglers if you happen to hook a person

EbbTideTackle Mahalos

Given the nature of the big fish's sharp teeth I would go with Kevlar if you are looking at using an assist man. What lure you talking about running here?

EbbTideTackle Siren Deep Seductress. Super fast sinking and Jason from siren said it should handle an assist from the towpoint just fine. Another option I was looking at would be running the Shout braided assist hooks. Given the lure isn’t a touchy floating stick or finesse lure what would you go with? With the nature of these fights going so long, and after seeing so many fish eventually dropped using trebles, I’m really just looking for the most secure, long term connection with hook up ratio taking a back seat

@@DanEvan 100% agree on no trebles just not sold on the need for the nose assist on SBT

Hey man glad you liked it - Fisherman rings.

No judgement bro! Mahalos hope you enjoyed the vid.

Yes it did open my eyes to new way of fishing thank you

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed

do your reef top of the food chain predators not store up Ciguatera in their flesh?

You're welcome Michael!

B1gBoss100 I run 6/0 GT Recorders on the150 and 7/0 on the 180 - individual floatation is determined by the wood density of each lure

Thanks for the info. I was looking at Owner ST76 but 5/0 is their biggest. The GT Recorders come barbless?

I see they do. Thanks!

B1gBoss100 sure do!

What is your opinion of fluorocarbon leader vs a mono shock leader? I always assumed fluoro was better but I've heard mono shock is fine.

Depends on the lure and the size of the fish / likelyhood of a hot bite or not ;) as a general rule, singles on stickbaits, trebles on poppers

Hi man, it's a simple granny knot, I might need to do a vid at some point

@@ebbtidetackle yes that would be good

Angel Polo J. Not sure what that means 😂

Gamakatsu GT Recorder trebles. Unbeatable for GT fishing!!

@@ebbtidetackle very nice! What size are you using? 7/0?

@@sab35263 anything from 4/0 to 7/0. Matched to lure size!

You may lose the occasional fish with no barbs but mostly if you keep the line tight you will land it, plus many people don't realise that barbs make it much harder for a hook to penetrate ;)

No wonder I lose a marlin at inshore. Is double J-hook a good choice as Treble hook for topwater?

I have seen in Shimano TV, that one guy has a big popper without tail hook. He replace his tail as an inline spinner. I guess that in order to set a huge 7/0 treble on belly and assure the popper can float properly, abandon the tail is one choice. Not a lot fish bite from tail, isn't it? Tail is not important as belly, right?

Most GT's come on the belly hook for sure.

Giant Trevally

You use whatever I tie on hahaha

Geoff Collins ?

just ragging on ya champ.. good video
