This site rocks!

Here I am thinking I was the only guy using #2 trebles on my Hudds, guess not. The way I rig mine is the same as Fish Chris and Butch Brown (usually one hook on top) but I also use 40 pound Big Game or 80 pound braid, but the mono is the easiest to work with. I have not caught as many Hudd fish as Matt or Nico, but I thought I would add to the discussion. I have not painted any of my hooks but I have thought many times about do it. I have also looked into buying tooling dye to chemically dye my hooks white. I used it when I worked in a sheet metal shop and it is cool stuff. I am just do not know if it will effect the strength of the hook. I guess I will not know until I try.
