Mike, those look awesome.
Hook size?
Is the tail tied on hook shank and with the bend and point cut off, or on a thick nylon extension?
Cheers
Rudy

Thanks, the tail is on a hook with the point cut off like you say...
Back hook is a TMC200R #10 with a B830 #6... total length just under 50mm
About the same size as the average bully in Lake Dunstan

Awesome. I really like those - they look very very fishy. 
I tried something like that a while back. But I had no cheap hooks, so tied the rear on 50# mono.
Works ok, but far too fiddly. 
Will need some buy some cheap hooks and cut the point off I think.
