a world of compromise
There is no one treble that will suit all needs and situations . If you ’ re anything like me you ’ ll find yourself connected to exactly the right fish on exactly the wrong tackle and with the wrong terminals . It ’ s Murphy ’ s Law ! Please don ’ t blame the trebles or rings when they fail in these situations , just do what you need to do to get the fish in the net .
You may ask what ’ s my favourite treble ? At the moment the Mustad 4x Saltism is my favourite treble , although the KVD trebles are quickly gaining the love . The Saltism trebles are light and tough and come in a size range that covers most of my needs . It ’ s not the be all and end all though , but I will fish these trebles on anything from 20lb braid up to 50lb braid and be confident they ’ ll handle the pressure .
Like everything in fishing , retrofitting lures is a compromise . There is a lot to think about and you will get it wrong at times ; that egg on my face look my fishing mates know so well keeps raising its ugly head . Luckily though these instances are becoming fewer and fewer as we discover a retrofit combination that works for us . the treble range
