Title: Re: MT's tip of the month Post by jaximus on Nov 5th, 2010 at 5:38pm
lets talk about hooks for trolling!
ive tried a couple different single hooks for spoons and the rear hook on my plugs but i just cant find anything i like/works as well as the trebles. ive experimented with different styles and sizes. the best one ive found so far is the gamagatsu octopus hook. it seems to have the best hook up rate of the single hooks ive tried, however, to get the size i want, the hook is pretty large/thick and subdues the action a little bit. on some salt water baits ive seen they run dual single hooks on the same splitring facing opposite ways. so its kind of like a little trap. id like something that hooks up well during trolling, but also doesnt mangle the fish. the problem i have with trebles is that they tend to grab too much and tear things. plus they are a pain to get out. i think the dual single hooks would do something similar to what a treble does hook up wise, but im afraid it might main the fish even worse. obviously having sharp hooks is the most important factor, but im getting at details. i would like your $.02. |
