Re: Switching Trebles to Singles
why do you need to change to singles?
Trebles are best on vibes/blades IMO
if you want to still try singles then use the ecogear zx30 trailer hooks that are available in most good tackleshops

Re: Switching Trebles to Singles
good rule of thumb i go by is to pick a hook gape on the single that matches the "width" created by two prongs on the treble. it really shouldn't matter on a blade or vibe as they sink, but keep in mind for floating and suspending lures, a different set of hooks can affect the action and bouyancy

As mentioned in the first reply if you are going to swap them out with singles best to retrofit them out with the Ecogear ZX hooks. It does work well when there is small debris on the bottom.

Not trying to sound confrontational but I'm just curious

unless your trolling the blade i dont find it makes any difference.
i keep trebeles because the hookup rate for me is a lot better because of the way i fish them.
then ofcourse theres the snag resistant option with singles, but seriously the 35mm is so small that a single hook is amost useless compared to a smaller treble hook

Re: Switching Trebles to Singles
Why would you they aren't known as deadly trebles for nothing. Agree with purple5 better hook up rates.

Re: Switching Trebles to Singles
My reason was to reduce damage done to the fish, add it's mainly catch and release I do. How do you fish them?purple5ive wrote:whats your reason to go singles?wem21 wrote:What's your reasoning behind keeping the trebles?purple5ive wrote:why do you need to change to singles?

Re: Switching Trebles to Singles
im yet to damage a fish (mainly bream) beyond the usual Minor ripped lips by using trebles. once the bream get big they can easily crush trebles, and a single hook so small will generally be fine gauge and will just get crunched.wem21 wrote:My reason was to reduce damage done to the fish, add it's mainly catch and release I do.

i would just stick with trebles, as for how i fish them just generally hop them off the bottom, but you have to vary retrieves to see what they want on the day.

Re: Switching Trebles to Singles
I've found singles have an almost 100% hold on rate compared to trebles which tend to drop fish more often...especially if they jump. Hook up rate is acceptable, I mostly use them trolling and casting for trout.
