Crankbait hooks treble vs single

Recommended Posts

Bobber Down

Was thinking about changing some treble hooks on my crankbaits to single hooks. Anyone have experience doing this? Any issues you have noticed? Should I worry about hookups? What brand, style, width or length should I be looking for. Thanks in advance for your input.


Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - WOW - what a ride!!!

I tried that and the single hook at the front of the bait rides up against the body of the bait rendering it almost useless.

Treble hooks. I had switched my lures to single hook barbless when I was in BC a few months last year. First lake trout I lost switched back to trebs

Always use trebles.  Change all my baits to Triple Grips, better hookups, less fish get off.

I'd say single hooks would result in way less fish hooked up. And isnt that the point of fishing .. I've  removed hooks on some baits. Often Husky jerk or shadow rap with 3 hooks. And sometimes run a single treble hook when fishing weeds and wood. 

 

Sebile makes cranks with a single hook I have some. . They are snagless.

I think you should throw those lures ALL THE TIME Ryan! They look pretty good.

Things sure have changed from yester years , here's a pic. of a I believe a Heddon 5 hook . Manufactures were big into hooks and props not only surface but also sub surface now a days it's as few hooks as possible .

Looks like a great example of the Heddon Dowagiac Underwater Minnow Lure #150 Rainbow released in the early 1900's. It should be marked on both propeller's and on the belly if it is a Heddon.

I got the pic. off of ebay to show an example but I do believe your right. Usually all the Heddons are marked on the belly at least the ones I have in my collection are.
