I know this is an older video, but I've been looking for good options for hooks to convert some of my crankbaits to single. This finally showed up as a suggested video and I'm glad it did
Good info. I actually go barb less for most of my fishing as I am mostly catch and release. I don't lose all that many fish, as the principles of keeping pressure on the fish is the same. Great channel, it's definitely one I look forward to.
Exactly what I was looking for, as a beginner who didn't know anything about hooks, I noticed all my spoons/spinners had treble hooks and I was wondering if I should switch them out mostly for ethical reasons.
Great video. I'm not strictly catch and release but I only keep trout fish of a very specific size range 13-15 inch. Maiming small stockers with barbed treble hooks defeats the point of releasing them plus is just a overall "feels bad man" vibe releasing them not overly confident they'll survive. There's a area at my local lake where I'm convinced a few of the absurdly sized large mouth that roam the bank are living mostly on badly injured released stockers.
Good info. I once saw a video where a guy was catching and releasing smaller bass with crankbaits. He cut one "hook" off of the treble hooks, which made it easier to release the fish without doing as much damage to the fish. Just another option.
Just wondering how big the market would be if I started making single hook inline spinners? I noticed there’s really not a current market for them. I’ve been converting my inline spinners myself
Thank you very much for the video. I've had a lot of trout releasing themselves. More than 80% of the trout easily spit out the spoon or Kastmaster that I'm using with the single barbless hook. Am I failing in technique? What advice can you give me? I'm using an UL rod with a 1000 reel with a well-adjusted brake.
from my experience, offset hooks still has the odds to gut hook. The offset can pentrate any part of the fish's mouth, true, but if they swallow it, chances are it will hook them in the gut. The inline hooks are more likely to slide back out if they swallow them and catch them in the lip.
Thank you for the product recommendation! I will definitely be trying some of those hooks out. Out of curiosity, have you experimented with circle hooks in these applications?
For the jerkbaits I use when trout fishing, theyre primarilly 38-50mm in length. Is there a downside to just removing the belly hook entirely, and solely relying on the tail hook?

Glad I could help!

Thank you for sharing. I’ve been searching for a single hook to replace the trebles on my spoons!

Thanks for the hook manufacturer info.
Great video! No fluff and quite informative :)
Very informative video, thank you !
very educational, thank you!
Another great set of tips. Thnx
You can buy single hook Rooster Tails from Yakima Bait
Thanks for the sources on those hooks -- I've been using the inline single hooks from VMC, which look really similar to these ones

Nice video. Love rooster tail on my BFS setups 👍🏼would you tell me more about the small crank baits?

Hook shape plays a role. What style hook are you using?
Do you ever bend your single hooks to the side some? So that the parallel sides are kind of offset?
Yes mostly on my salmon and walleye hooks

I've not in lures for trout but for bait fishing absolutely they work grand

Aside from missing a few more bites no real issues with doing that
That's what I thought too, especially since 38-50mm is already so small of a lure

The world is a better place with the Japanese!
The fishing tackle world would be pretty boring and sushi. I can’t imagine life with out sushi
