Trebles hooking

[johnsonMAN]

Hi guys, im just wondering what u guys do to stop hardbody trebles hooking on eachother and on the line.

How do you guys avoid it?

Thanks

ps. im a lure nooby

What do mean Johno? When you store or fish.

I always store mine seperately. I only put em together when I used em and they are heading for the bath, then I cuck em in a bucket and hope I don't forget about them.

I don't have a problem fishing with em.

Like when your casting and these have not been modified.

The hooks \"hook\" onto the line or eachother. I store them seperately anyway.

AHH Halco Scorpion 35mm

Lively Lures - mini micro mullet

Poltergeist 50's

okay so there bot el cheapo lures mate i have a halco scorpoin and never had a drama what so ever so sounds strange as im not the best fisho around!

[Mack_attack]

maybe try smaller hooks or just having the back treble on

[Feral]

Downsize your trebles until they cant physically link with each other.

[johnsonMAN]

The hooks dont but thats not the main problem. The main problem is the line hook ups

[Big_unit]

Ive found the only time the treble grabs the line is when I dont cast properly. I cant explain it in writing but its all in the casting technique.

Try and keep the tail end of the lure facing outwards from you when you're casting to prevent it from swirling around in the wind. A lure with a big bib usually makes it harder to cast and are more trolling lures.

It may also be because you re using a leader that coils easily (Old mono). When you cast and the lure hits the water and there is slack line if it's coilly it has the chance of wrapping around the hooks as the line contracts. I know what you are talking about and it does happen from time to time. I get it when using Scorpians and Attack lures.

thanks troy so should i be getting some berkley vanish 6 and 10lb leader?

Mate to be honest i dont dont reckon its a big deal.

In my kayak, because im not always doing things the ideal way (for example you let your line swing while releasing a fish etc) the line gets caught on my trebles often. Then i spend an ardous 5 secs getting the line off the hooks and cast again. Presto solved.

I would not bother with a leader if your using 6lb mono, particulary Vanish, it is already flourocarbon. (Not the same hardness as leader flourocarbon, but as invisible)
