A while back I bought some lures to give them a try..never caught a fish on them.
The trebles have rusted so I bought some new ones and supposed split ring pliers as recommended by the bloke at a tackle shop. Yeah right..Ya need fingers the size of toothpicks and a microscope. I have been conned again on spending money on junk. Lures, trebles and pliers are now in the bin..never to try that crap again. I do not have the patience for this BS.
BAIT RULES
Damn thats gota suk mate...ya not wrong when you think you have brought a bargain they really end up being shyt..we all learn from a very expensive lesson, i know i have done many times..grrrr
Mate a good trick to reduce your trebs rusting (and hooks and swivels too), is drop some rice into the tackle box compartments.
Very effective, draws up moisture constantly.
I don't bother with pliers, I just make the gap with a small knife then run the treble around till its within the ring, very fiddly job indeed.
I recently re done all my lures and it turned out to be very costly!
My lure collection no longer expands, I just have a base set for all types of fishing, (lose one replace one)
I figure more lures will just mean more upkeep.
cheers
Stick to the fresh and you won't have a problem Greg.
Can I have your bin Greg? My pliers are looking prett ordinary at the moment. Trebles need to be replaced at timees. Mostly I use a large hook to split them

No doubt there is plenty of crap being sold as quality. Best hooks are VMC IMO and pliers I couldnt tell you.
