Swapping out lure hooks
Submitted by Leigh85 on Sat, 2015-01-03 13:31
Hi all,
I'm looking at swapping out a few of my lure hooks from treble to single as the are looking a little worse off at the moment.
what style of hook do most of you use when doing this, and what size on a halco 160 and 190
i want to try for some tuna and maccies when they turn up

I've gone singles on my poppers, used Mustad Hoodlums. Haven't done any swimming lures, not that I can think of anyway, but if I have, then I would have used hoodlums on them as well.

Just my 2 cents mate but i like to stick with trebles on my divers for macks and tuna owners are the go i find the hook up rate better when trolling quick, i use singles on sticks popper small divers for cast and retrieve decoy singles are very good i do have one xrap with 2 large singles wich i go to when we got our limit of pelagics but yet to get a fish on it.
The other thing i find with the decoys singles on trolling lures is that the point wears very quickly

Are Decoys the only brand for swapping trebles for singles?

No
but they are the most readily available inline single hooks on the market.
VMC have recently released a similar version but they are harder to find.
