I'm changing my stick baits from trebles to singles. Have some Jigstar and mustard jigging hooks but the eye faces the wrong way for the belly hook and sits flat instead of pointing down.

What are most guys using or should I run some Kevlar cord from the belly loop to the hook eye. I looked at some live bait hooks but they looked a bit small.

Have the same problem with the rear hook but I was just going to give the loop a twist but I don't want to bugger the lure. What do you think.

ive seen people using double split rings and even cable ties, best option is to buy some of those inline hooks.

Greg at GoFish has plenty.
I have only used singles for a while now. The problem is most baits in particular the expensive ones don't swim well when you go from trebles to singles. However with some practise you can get them to work but the odd modification can help, such as put a octy skirt on the belly hook it help to keel the bait stopping it from falling over & stops it ripping out the water. The cheaper baits however don't seem to mind singles & no mods needed.

chris wong has some inline singles.....contact on here.........shogun inline hooks from torpedo 7........decoy make inline single jigging hooks that are good for top water sticks...........7/0 and 8/0 are good sizes........only one split ring needed......as pete said.......also inline raptor hooks.

Singles have less drag than trebles and affect some baits ability to go subsurface, try a ball bearing swivel/split ring on the front.

I also like the rapala x walk but the hooks are crap and I find them a bit out of balance with bigger trebles on them, so gunna try singles on them to.
