Hi, thanks for this video - very helpful. I’ve found that sea trout tend to spit the hooks fairly regularly when I use Toby lures. Would you suggest using the 2 split rings method on the 20g versions? Also, I’m going to try using the hooks you suggested. I see you’ve posted a link below, but what size of hook are you using? Many thanks, Willie 🙂

Ok, I’m thinking 1/0, just based on how big the 2/0 ones I bought are. Hope this helps the other commenters on this video!

The Toby is a great lure for a variety of fish, I have some original Abu lures, made in Sweden, and the action is better than the Garcia ones in my opinion.

@@lburton8369 I bought the Vanford C5000xg to pair it up with my 10 foot rod. But I sent it back... personal preference with most fishing tackle isnt it, I know the C stands for compact in Shimano lettering for reels. Even for a 5000 reel it seemed so small when I attached it to the rod. It just didn't look right. Is your reel in the video a ci 14 4000 older model. The reel body looks bigger than the C5000xg Vanford. I was wondering if just a normal Stradic or Vanford 4000 without the (c) compact sizing would be like your size reel on the video? I am going to use a Penn spinfisher 4500 it's got a bigger body design & bigger line capacity spool. I know the Spinfisher is semi sealed for saltwater etc but it's tough and more durable which is what I would prefer over refinement. I haven't really found any freshwater designed spinning reels I really like. Plus I don't like graphite. Any reels you could recommend? Sorry that's like loads of questions ha

Hi, I think the 4g Abu Toby lures have maybe been discontinued. Had a wee look online and couldn’t see any but the Glasgow Angling Centre sell 4g tobys, brand is called lure flash and they’re £1.25 each. If you have a look on their site you might find some colours that will work for you. The lures should be fine but might need better hooks. eBay is worth a shot too. Hope that helps 👍🏻

Apologies @ross, I don’t check the channel as much as I should - just seen a comment there and seen there were quite a few I never got around to replying to including yours. We have most likely had a chat down on the bank as that was the main area I stuck to. My season was a bit of a write off that year, just didn’t put the hours in and once COVID came around I sort of lost the bug. Managed a few Sea trout earlier in the season but nothing substantial. Didn’t fish at all this season but hoping to get back on it for next season. Hope your season improved and you had a good 2021 season and have managed to keep safe. Once again, apologies for not getting back to you sooner.

Low water all year but the most amount of fish we've seen in 15+ years but they just wouldn't touch anything, Ive done not bad considering the water levels but Ive put in a lot of hours over the summer, water is high now and all the fish we had hanging around have moved off up stream so I doubt ill catch anything else unless I venture up the endrick.
