Garreth, You're welcome Buddy, just remember they're are to be photographed whilst dangling from a fish's mouth.
 
@ Half Pint, working on yours, it's just a wee bit cold but it's coming on.

 :geet Hi all, my concern about these lures is the trebble hooks, due to catch and release is not a single hook better as it will not damage the fish, can I change the hooks on the lures I buy for my Port Edward trip.
Thanks

Best practice will certainly be to remove trebles and replace with singles. Some lures don't swim correctly without a treble in this case you can either debarb the trebles or chop the points off 2 of the hooks

Jimmy, try the Commercial Marine shop in Boksburg... I've heard good things about it.

Hey Jimmy in edenvale you can try anglers den. Its next door to union tiles. I don't think their prices are great though. If you want to head out to the deep east rand you can try Western Accessories in boksburg or Mias in benoni town. Both have decent prices and good selection
