Check your licence as some places do not allow trebles on lures for trout. Agree with a few others tho less damage to the fish with singles and just as a good a hook up. ]]> Thu, 25 Aug 2011 19:04:37 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51296&PID=989634&title=treble-hooks-for-trout#989634 <![CDATA[Treble hooks for trout : The black magic hooks are excellent,...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51296&PID=989550&title=treble-hooks-for-trout#989550 Author: Capt Asparagus

The black magic hooks are excellent, as they have the extra-large sized eyes.]]> Thu, 25 Aug 2011 17:09:40 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51296&PID=989550&title=treble-hooks-for-trout#989550 <![CDATA[Treble hooks for trout : I been quite slack about this...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51296&PID=989497&title=treble-hooks-for-trout#989497 Author: ThomasW

I been quite slack about this lately, but I try to change to single hooks for most of my lures. Try using Black Magic Trout Lure hook size 4.

I still stick with trebles on my Rapala's , I personally have not had a problem with trebles ripping gills or doing extensive damage (but I know others do). Something to do with how the trout strikes the lure I beleive, the vast majority of the time they are hooked in the lip.  I also have noticed changing to singles can affect the lures action, IMO my little jointed Rapalas swam very bad when I tried single hooks on them. 

In saying that, not all bibbed minnows seem to be kind on the fish, I have had storm wildeye lures do massive damage...

Single hooks i think are the better way to go.... you get less foul hooking, and I think a single hook provides less leverage for a fish to use to pry a hook out of its mouth. With bibbed minnow lures, you can use 2 split rings at the tail, with a single hook sitting point upwards, that will skip across the bottom a lot more easily that a treble hook will, and if you are using smaller lures of around 2 inches or so, I do not think you really need a belly hook at all, just a hook in the tail will catch any fish that has a crack at the lure.
With veltecs etc.... again, singles are fine.
Treble hooks arejust murder on fish if you are planning on releasing any...especailly smaller fish that you have to release, a treble hook will chew out eyes, gills, throats of small fish very very easily indeed. Makes "releasing" pointless really.

Hi All.

Just a quick question regarding hooks.
Im very new to this sort of fishing as in been twice, so whats the deal with hooks, im using Storm softies & Mepps spinners plus Veltic spinners which all come with trebles, so my question is do i replace them with singles as suggested on here, will that stop me snagging on the bottom or is that just me being to slow on the retrieve.
I dont want to keep the Trout for eating so will all be released to fight another day so i get the point regarding the fishes health in not using trebles.
I lost 3 lures last time to being snagged on the bottom so want to try & stop this happening.
Your thoughts would be a great help.
Cheers
SB
