Bit of revenge on the RDO today, the earmuffs were needed when hooks straighted on what I expect was her horse red in 14m water. Nothing like ebay hook specials.

Cheap hooks can be ok but many just don't hold up to big fish

Yep
I buy 2 x 18ft throw nets before start of each summer for barra for $50 off ebay. By end of summer they're ripped and stuffed so I repurpose the lead for running rigs. Because the sinker hole size is for rope, I do a triple snell which makes the third hook more as a keeper for the sinkers. In this case guts had both hooks in his mouth and I twisted it up heaps trying to untangle from the net.

I looked at that and noticed the throw net sinkers. It bought a smile to my face because ours usually get melted down for number 3 beans.
