I was there this morning.
The tide was coming.
The water current wasn't strong.
The sea surface was slightly wavy.
I went to the rocks.
Normally, I don't fish at the incoming tide at these rocks.
First, I used the top-water lure and then it was taken by a 60-65cm barracuda.
But I lost the first fish.
Second, I used the shiny hard-body lure and then it was nearly taken by a big trevally.
And I cast some lures across the same rock many and many a time.
Finally, I caught a 51cm urban saltwater barramundi.
51cm urban salt water barramundi
Land based, Darwin, NT, Australia
There should be only one barramundi there this morning.
I probably caught the very one barramundi there.
Please try to see the expected advantages of the double hook.
- Double hook is hardly caught from the obstacles.
- Double hook can easily be detached without pliers because it doesn't need a split ring between hook and lure. (It rarely would become weakness. But the methods are many various for this problem.)
- Lure looks better with double hooks than with treble hooks to compare with an actual fish. The rear double hook moves so smoothly as they swim around in the sea water. It looks like a tail fin. The front double hook looks like pectoral fins.
- As a bonus, double hooks are also much nicer to fish than using treble hook. They cause less damage for catch and release.
