Title: spoon fishing for trout........
Post by: mooch on February 09, 2005, 03:11:28 PM

Change the treble hooks to single siwash hooks....why?
1) safer for kids to handle
2) they snag less
3) easier to release small fish on a single hook - less harm to the fish as well.
4) a treble hooked fish that is netted - can be a disaster (tangle galore)

I replace my spinners with single hooks as well (rooster tails & panther martins)

just my 2 cents.....

I do the same thing with all my rockfish jigs too.
