Warrnambool is set to follow the rest of the state to a double-pronged lure on November 21.
Greyhound Racing Victoria trialed the double arm lure at Melbourne track The Meadows, Bendigo and Cranbourne successfully.

Monigatti said industry feedback had been overwhelmingly positive.
"There hasn't been any negative feedback at all while it's been trailed," he said.
