Gear Failure

I had another look at my popper that I hooked my GT on last night and I noticed something I don't know how I missed.

One of the hooks on the rear treble has been straghtened, not completely but quite noticeable.

Also, the bit that the split ring is connected to on the lure has had so much force applied that you can see where it has kinda fractured the lure body.

Ouch. I see now why the standard gear just isn't up to scratch.

Always re-rig my really heavy poppers, doesnt take much to bend em when your using heavy rods/reels.

Owner stingers and trebles all the way!
