chefchris Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 So I know he uses the gami round bend trebles in bronze finish, 2/0 in front and 1/0 in the back. But in some videos he just says 1/0. trying to confirm the hook size front and back. any idea what split rings/size he’s running? thanks SU. want to rig the new shiner 250 as close to his way as possible.

David R Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 2/0 front 1/0 back. I'll send him a message about the split rings and see if he gets back to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 I actually have his phone number too but when he gave it to me he asked me to call him. I don't know if I would call him on my own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a little looking around, and both the 1/0 and 2/0 are in stock on TW but only 25 packs. Both sizes seem to be in stock here in 6 packs. https://www.xtackle.com/gamakatsu-round-bend-treble-bronze.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I was a little confused when Butch said that Owner hooks don't sit flush against the bait. If you pay attention and orient the hook correctly on the split ring and hanger, Owner ST-36s will sit with 2 prongs flush against the body of the bait and 1 prong straight down. Unless I misunderstood Butch and this is not what he meant... 253caster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewwang1769 Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Yea i was confused as well lol. I was literally looking at the st-36s on my 250 and they were perfectly flush. I just with owner made bronze st-36s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I misunderstood Butch and this is not what he meant... I could be wrong, but it's to my knowledge that the older Owner hooks didn't have the eyelet that lines up with a hook point. Maybe someone with better memory can correct me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEbucketmouth19 Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Does anyone know Butch's thoughts on painting hooks white? I've seen it done before and on the colors that have white underbellies I would think that would blend in the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low&Slow Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Butch told me personally he uses gammy 2/0 round bends. Idk if that has changed over the years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthewn7 Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Just an FYI, you can also order the Gamakatsu bronze round bend treble hooks that Butch uses on the Gamakatsu website. Costs a little more but they have them in stock if you need them now. https://www.gamakatsu.com/product/treble-hooks-round-bend/. The 2/0 model number 47112 and the 1/0 model number is 47111. I ordered some a few weeks ago when they were out of stock at Tacklewarehouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
