Hi Himal
How much did you pay and which tackle store you got them from?

Hwsit Clent

Got it at Solly's in Boysens, marked for R125 but speak to the guys there. There is about 10 left on the shelf.

Sand Eels? If anyone thinks I am pulling the mickie here, I am not, would be good to know what they imitate

Greg, Sand Eels are not actual eels they sought of look like a halfbeak, minus the beak. A common baitfish found in europe mostly (I think), not found off the African coastline. I spoke to a Lady who represented the Italian National team in a few comps and she said the Sand Eel is the best live bait she has ever used.

Has anyone changed the hooks on these yet? I don't like trebles but Im not sure what to put on these

1/0 may be a bit big?

HP, Barry has changed his hooks to 3/0 Decoy hooks and modified them so they do not snag and twist around the body of the lure

Half-Pint · « **Reply #56 on:** February 07, 2014, 12:03:57 PM »

Any pics on how he did that?

Shivaan · « **Reply #57 on:** February 07, 2014, 12:06:19 PM »

Not a clue HP.
Probably just tweaked them till they stopped wrapping around.
You could also maybe go 2/0 to stop it happening?

Cage · « **Reply #58 on:** February 07, 2014, 02:19:51 PM »

The decoys point is in line with the shank... I just bent the point slightly to make it off-set and that has solved the problem for me.... Not sure what master Barry did though...

It's great though, the first slim minnow bait I've used where changing hooks out hasn't killed the action....

What size hooks did you use cage and which way do they face?
