Hey guys
Not an area that i all too well but i got a few hardbody lures that the trebles are starting to go rubbish. What brand trebles would you guys recommend to replace them with..
a few of the lures i got are
small surface poppers
a few shallow divers ~1m
few deeper divers
bibbless vibes
dont want dodgy old trebles to be the result of losing a good fish
cheers...Ben
I change all of the trebles to Owners on my barra lures.
Yep...
In terms of sizes should i just stick with the same sizes that came with the lures?
Are Owners usually heavier? as they are stronger? if so could i then downsize the treble size or best to keep the same
Also i have seen on some surface that some people use a single hook on the rear? thoughts on that?
Ben...
Vmc trebles work for me.

Ben,
There are heaps of quality trebles available including Owner, Decoy, VMC etc. Some are stronger, some are lighter and some will be meant for specific circumstances...
But the important thing is to match the right size (and weight) of treble to the lure. To big or heavy and you can affect or even kill the action of the lure.
Take one of each type of lure to your local tackle shop and this will help you match them with the correct trebles...
And yes, single hooks rather than trebles can be a good option, particularly on fish that can trash trebles quickly (barra, snapper)...
Cheers
Pete
