[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 459924, member: 21536"] OTW, I think you are right on about the fish shaking the hook, which is why allowing slack is a big cause of lost fish, IMO. Im my experience, a single hook will more often get a deeper set (not sure how to say that but I think you know what I mean). I also think it is common for a fish to be "hooked" by only one point of the treble hook. The other two hooks might actually provide leverage points for the fish to pry the one that is set out. Whatever the cause, what I observe is when netting a fish, a treble hook will often fall loose. That doesn't happen much with a single hook. Which, brings up another issue -- treble hooks can really get tangled in the net. [/QUOTE]
