Any difference between them on the bigger 11cm size, appart from the hooks? Cheers!

I'm guessing that it's just the hooks :?:

In their website the only difference is "Perma steel hooks" in the saltwater version, so it looks like it's only the hooks. Thing is I've seen them at what seems a nice price somewhere, but they only had one colour available for the sea. So I guess I can buy the others and change the trebles...

the trebles on the freshwater would be ok for a couple of trips in the sea, but they do rust after a while and you dont want one breaking and loosing a big bass. :cry: i do a bit of pike fishing as well and use the saltwater lures for pike as well as the freshwater ones in the sea, just keep an eye on the trebles. i usually change them at the strat of the season anyway.

Thanks for the help. I decided to buy them. I'll change the trebles when they start to rust. Cheers!
