Blades and vibes

[Jimbu]

Recently purchased some of these, and quickly lost a couple to snags... ive wisened up and am more careful about when and where I use them.

I've cut off the bottom leg of the mid-treble for more snag resistance (some people remove these completely?), and I'm casting out as far as possible past the rocks in close at my local spot and winding in quickly before I get to the edge of the snags.

I managed a couple of bream on Sunday morning with tiny hops and big pauses, however I was struggling to get the casting distance I wanted, which led me to order some strike pro hummers which are a little heavier. Anyone tried these out?

Ive heard of people catching Jews and flatties on these as well, would they require the same style of retrieve?

All comments, experiences and tips on blades and vibes are welcome.

Cheers,

James

same retrieve for most with a pause and then a few lifts

I usually replace tail-treble with the single hook bent up. You can replace mid-treble with 2 single hooks tied together, but cutting the bottom leg is very good idea and simple.
