Re: ganging hooks for trout
I've been using the petackle salt water tailer hooks in 7/0 for a few years now and have ganged upwards of 700 hooks in that time and would most likely have had less then 20 hooks in total snap the eyelets when opening.
Re: ganging hooks for trout
Just my opinion i went Gamakatsu Big Bait not mustards big gun for similar ganging and didnt have the problem, i had the same problem for the big guns you had even heating them, was losing 1 out of 3 to breaks, tried the pe tackles once and not again, just my experience,
Re: ganging hooks for trout
yeah tangles even heating the latest batches of these hooks up isn't working. more feed back from others appreciated.
so marto the tailer hooks are ok. anyone ganged the BFG's??? prefer this style hook over the tailer
Re: ganging hooks for trout
I use the pre ganged bfg hooks.
They are great.
Went to them for the same reason of the big guns breaking.
As as for the single bfg's, sorry but no experience.
Thanks

Re: ganging hooks for trout
Buying 6/0, 7/0 & 8/0's in Big Guns & had huge problem with the 6/0, 100% breakage.
Took them back & was told they can't be ganged, something about carbon............
7/0 about 1 in 20 breakage but zero breakage in the 8/0

Re: ganging hooks for trout
Cheers tony, I've always had problems with 6/0 breaking,usually only gang 8/0 last 3 boxs all bought at same time fracturing 25/30% at least (not keen to count all the broken ones)
yeah rob seen the prerigged, but I prefer a 2 hook gang.
Re: ganging hooks for trout

I like the tailer hooks mate and usually gang 2 or 3 together depending on the size of the baits.
