Better than treblesI land more hooked fish with these single replacement hooks than with trebles and hookup rates are the same. Pacific yellowtail will always head for kelp, and trebles have three times as many chances to get snagged on kelp strands as the hooked fish weaves around the forest or paddy.
I bought a gram scale, weigh the removed treble, match with same or similar weight single replacement hook so as not to change lure action.

Lose less fish with a single hookHave replaced the trebles on all my plugs with these hooks. I bought a gram scale, weigh the removed treble, replace it with same weight or lighter single replacement hook. That way I'm assured lure won't be affected by hook change.

Great HookThe large hook eye makes this hook easy to install on lures. I have switched a lot of my lures over to single hooks. My hook up ration hasn't changed, but getting the fish unhooked has been made much easier. Trial and error is the way to adjust the way the lure performs with hook weight change.

excellent treble replacementsI purchased these hooks to swap out trebles on hard baits I use for large Red Drum. These are our breeder fish and I want to do as little damage to them as much as I love chasing after them. These fit the bill. The hooks are heavy enough that they don't change the action of the lure. I use them on rattle baits, topwaters, and twitch baits and have been very happy with the results. No change in hookup rates and the fish don't get a face full of hooks plus it's safer for the angler as well! Glad I made the swap!

Strong hooks catch fish, easy release.These hooks are strong and will take a 20 pound striped bass and big bluefish with no problem. (Wish I could have caught even bigger.)
Holding up without rust in the salt (rinse with fresh water at end of day).
Great replacement hooks for trebles - much easier to release from a single hook.
So far have been using as a single hook on Kastmasters and spoons, as well as replacing treble tail hooks on plugs.
Just starting to experiment with replacing both sets of treble hooks on plugs - so far, so good.
You can get away with 1/0 for small striped bass, but 2/0 - 5/0 more appropriate.
For redfish and sea trout the 1/0 and 2/0 hooks are all you will need.
