POLL-Single or Treble for Kwiks

Sky-Guy · 03-15-2004, 09:46 AM

OK everyone, I want to know what you run off your Kwikies when you replace the hooks. Single Siwash, double Siwash, single Treble, or double Treble.

Then please detail why you run your hooks this way?

Thanks,

I use a Gamakatsu 510 on the tail. I leave the split ring on and add a barrel swivel then the hook. I change the belly hook to a owner

Don't be so sure about losing more fish with siwash than trebles

I'd be willing to say that your hook up to land ratio goes up! :grin:

I'm gradually getting rid of all my treble hooks. It's a safety issue for me. With two small boys who like to investigate, I'm concerned about having trebles in my tackle box. I believe trebles are more effective at hooking fish and I will likely lose a few fish with single hooks, but I'll deal with it. Eventually, I might revert to all barbless hooks. I've done that already for lures/baits that I use in the ocean.
