Thanks for creating this video. I really like it!
It's thorough, it covers some of the lures I use myself, and there's no bias. The pace of the video is perfect. Good job☺️👍🇩🇰

Thank you 🙏

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!

Great vlog, try the salmo minnow in a 7cm trout pattern , cast better than a rapala and have loads more vibration! , I fish nearly all the same as you , so I know you won’t b disappointed in the salmo , but find 7cm or bigger best 👍👍

[@lburton8369]

Thanks Chris, really appreciate it. I had a look at the Salmo and they look great, love the trout pattern! Definitely going to pick a few up and give them a go. Looking forward to trying them out, always good to try something new. Thanks for the tip 👍🏻

Salmos don't fish well in moving water

[@Alan-io2ew]

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.

[@sammcclure9444]

Hi, great video. What sizes of rapala do you use?

[@lburton8369]

Hey, thank you! I use a range of raps depending on the water conditions. Usually 7-11cm but mostly 7’s & 9’s. If it’s high I’ll maybe go a bit bigger but take a set of trebles off it’s one with 3 sets on it. Hope that helps 👍🏻

Hi. I like your video very much. I have moved on to the oneten lures with great success. What are your thoughts on this lure.

[@lburton8369]

Hello, thank you 👍🏻 I haven’t used them as much as I’d like to but really enjoyed them when I have used them. Great action and colours. I’ve had a few eBay replica style ones and they’re good too.

[@povfishingorkney]

Have you ever tried the Savage Gear Zerling or seekers for sea trout?

[@peterjohnston4472]

[@superkoen1779]

When will u release the Peto vs the Otus Video :)

[@lburton8369]

Hopefully get it done in spring when the weather is a bit warmer 👍🏻

Hi there, what size single hooks are you using on the toby

[@livingtheskyelife]

Hi, I asked the same question, but I don’t think the poster of the video is seeing the video comments for some reason. I think the hook size is 1/0.

[@usiek82]

Hi, what single hooks are you using? Could you drop me a link? Cheers

[@lburton8369]

Hey, I’ve tried a few, these ones have been alright - www.fishingmegastore.com/sea-fishing-hooks/mustad-kaiju-inline-single-hooks~39194.html

[@johnwenlock4848]

i would add the mepps4 longue and the jointed rapalas in blue with the orange belly

[@lburton8369]

Thank you for the tip, I’ll give them a go! Liking the sound of the blue Rapala. Will get on that! Thanks again!

[@garyrobertson9534]

Blue fox vibrax is good for Scottish salmon

[@lburton8369]

Thanks for the tip, will give them a go 👍🏻

[@whitetroutchannel]

hang on to those toby's pal i heard that ABU have discontinued them

[@lburton8369]

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll definitely hang on to these then. Hopefully won’t hit too many snags once the river opens again 🤞🏻 thanks again!

[@whitetroutchannel]

@@lburton8369 i hope i was mis-informed but i think its true enough, i cant imagine fishing without a toby id be gutted

[@lburton8369]

@@whitetroutchannelhopefully they bring them back at some point if they are discontinued. I’d be gutted as well, the Toby is always my first out of the box and was one of the first lures I caught a fish on.

[@whitetroutchannel]

@@lburton8369 have to agree mate, i would never have got the amount of sea-trout ive caught if it wasnt for the toby, i hope they dont end up like the Abu krills and end up costing near a score 2nd hand on ebay !!

[@lburton8369]

@@whitetroutchannel definitely mate, it’s saved me blanking so many times and just so easy to use. Would be gutted if they end up that way on eBay 2nd hand 💸
