I would be glad to. The pics will have to wait until this weekend. I'm living on various couches lately, and don't have my Hudd stuff with me.

Couple points though on the ST-66 vs the Gammie 4X kind:

1) Owners are balanced hooked. The three parts of the treble, are welded to a single shank, and you can get a single prong in the Hudd and have two points outward, AND have the eye of the hook in the middle dead center laying flat with the harness. I think I need to explain this better perhaps. A huge point in my mind with clean rigging.

2) Sharpness. I don't care what anyone says, Owners are sharper. Stinger style. Literally sticky hooks.

3) Gauge: I think the Gammies ARE slightly thinner gauge than the Owners. However, the Owners aint bad.

4) Color: My Owners are regrettably shiny silver/nickle. I do mask the hooks white, but still, that stuff rubs off, and shiny hooks are no bueno typically. Bronze is mas mejor. Point to Gammie. I don't know honestly if ST66 Owners are available in other colors. Need to google.
