changing trebles,
Submitted by fisherking on Tue, 2012-10-30 20:04
When changing the trebles for singles on lures, is there a specific hook that you guys would recommend?
Thanks

I prefer
Decoy sergent jigging singles. Size dependant on lure/target fish size.

Lure hooks
By owner, use two back to back.

Depend on the lure and what
Depend on the lure and what your hoping to catch but something with strength and obviously no offset. I second matt's suggestion

Not sure if ur asking for
Not sure if ur asking for specific brand or just more general but; for hardbodies there are hooks with the eye turned so that its in line with the hook (opposite to normal hooks). Good tackle stores should stock a few sizes, i couldnt find any at BCF the other week

Gamakatsu lure singles,
Gamakatsu lure singles, decoy pluggin for small/sergeants for big. Gamakatsu SL12's although they feature an offset eye but are a very strong, sharp hook.

When rigging for spoons
When rigging for spoons though, I prefer to rig with a normal hook as in-line hook will have the hook point facing the thin side of the spoon. Having said that, I still catch fish on spoon with the in-line hooks.
Sometimes, I use Gamakatsu saltwater fly single hook(purple colour packaging) to replace trebles. They have reasonably large eyes to accomodate thick gauge split rings.
If the profile of the lure is not too large, you may want to consider Cultiva S75M 1/0 or 2/0. Love the profile of these hooks, short shank relative to gape of the hook and large eye for oversize split rings. Oh and yes, they are sticky sharp! I find it harder for the fish to throw the hook with this profile. Just my opinion.

Split rings
Perhaps add a second split ring while your changing to singles to give it a bit more movement and hopefully less chance of spittin hooks.
