Location: North of Sweden! | First off, I am new here, and, to be honest, I have NEVER fished for muskie (sadly), but, that is rather natural as I am from sweden... :D though, for sure, I'd love to one day get my ass over to you and your muskies as they sure look like a bunch of fun.
Reason for me finding this board and signing up here is my LOVE of my ABSOLUTE favorite lure; the 9" Suick Thriller, and, well, it is not all that many people in sweden fishing this lure, not that common at least, so, I figured, this board seems to be the place to ask questions (and I have read just about all the threads on here that I could find pertaining to the Thriller).
So, what I am wondering about, to begin with at least, is:
1. brand and size of trebles you guys are using for your Suick Thrillers?
2. same but regarding split-rings for the same lure then.
So, what do you guys prefer and use?
Kind regards

Location: Minneapolis | Suicks work great for big pike! I have not paid much attention to which hooks I use when I need to cut and replace them. I like Mustad 35656BR 3/0 hooks in general - the wide bend, short shank is nice.
I like Bucher split rings or Wolverine triple split rings. |

| If your from Sweden, take a look at the splittings, lureparts.nl sells, the 5xh, 6xh and 7xh stainless is awesome and super cheap if you buy 100 a a time for Suicks i would go with size 6xh or 7xh.
Tight lines from Denmark. |

Indeed!!! The big pikes LOOOVE the Suicks!!!
Ah, I see. Though, to me 3/0 sounds a bit too small?
(small for 9" Suicks that is, sorry if I was not clear about the size of Thriller in my original post), but, perhaps those Mustad 35656BR are "big for their size" so to speak?
Will look in to them! |

| Mustad 35656BR 3/0 have ~ same opening of treble as Eagle claw 4/0. I personally prefer the Mustad hooks they are black nickel and 3/4 point. |

Then this sounds kinda like the perfect hook for me!!!
might go for this if I find some around here for a decent price, sounds like I'm gonna wanna go for a 4/0 in the mustad then, should suit me well, I prefer to remove the tail-treble and then I especially like to have a bigger opening treble than the ones that the Thrillers come with originally, so, then judging by your info this model should be great! |
