barramundi solely with vibes allow
for this unorthodox retrofit as the fish
are turbo charged and rarely miss an
opportunity to scoff our offerings.
In both the 95mm and 115mm Zerek
Fish Trap I use the 2/0 and 3/0 Mustad
Kaiju Inline Singles respectively on the
rear of the lure with a Saltism 4x Mustad
treble on the front. This has reduced
the number of dropped fish which I
firmly believe is due to the larger single
hook on the rear. The only trouble we
have in these spots is getting the often-
unstoppable fish to the boat as they
hang around a horror scene of bommies
and rocks and know the quickest way to
freedom time and time and time again.

Experimentation is key when changing
hooks and the hook set up of your
chosen lure. I have run the inline singles
on many different lures from the 5” Flat
Shad to running them in 60m when
fishing soft plastics and quite a few
different scenarios in-between. That’s
one of the great things about fishing,
where we can think outside the box and
see what works for us, the one thing I’m
sure we all need is simply more time on
the water to run through everything
that pops into our minds. My best
advice is take in any advice with an
open mind, know your chosen species
and the challenges that they present
with hook choice and let your time on
the water nut out the finer details.
Overall, I have used the Mustad Kaiju
Inline Singles for the last couple of years
and can recommend them without
reservation.
