       So whats everyones opinion on the optimal hook and setup or
       techniques for hooking billfish.
       Ive liked the Pa'a hooks by Black bart but after experiencing
       some losses lately has me thinking of options...maybe the 7/0
       that i had in the little phantom on the weekend just wasnt big
       enough for 24kg - seemed ok till just before strike position but
       any drag over 6kg had em coming out?
       such a small lure to reasonably run a bigger hook but will try
       an 8/0 - mainly for the stripeys - they didnt leave it alone but
       the dropped fish was annoying.
       the bigger hooks seem ok when fished with the bart technique,,,
