Hey Jon, I have taken to the single in line hooks for stick baiting & it is a bit challenging but a few little additions helps heaps. As you know most stick baits are designed to swim best with trebles which helps to keel them. So what I've done is added octy skirts one the belly hook for smaller baits & on both belly & tail on bigger baits. It takes a bit of playing around with but works. Much safer for anglers & mates & easier to release fish in good order.

Yup that's the one Jon. Not sure if you've seen on here but some charter operators are now banning trebles, which is probably fare enough.

nomis......thanks for that......the sort of info i was after........i might try a belly treble and a single on the back then.
