I lose a fairly high percentage of fish (trout). Fishing method is trolling. My favorite spoons for fast trolling are Speedy Shiners (pic below).
I'm thinking of replacing the treble hooks on my favorite spoons with single Siwash style hooks. I've read that treble hooks result in more hook-ups but also provide more leverage for a fish to shake the hook. It does seem I get better hook-ups using spoons with single hooks (aka Needle Fish, wedding rings).
Anyway, this has probably been discussed to death but I think I'm at least going to give it a try. Unfortunately, the "tackle" stores near me would not have Siwash hooks (or much else for that matter) so I'll have to order on line.
Curious if anyone is doing this?
