Tailor on metals - treble or single hook?

[Pistol_P]

Yeah, I suppose with trebles having three shanks bends and hooks, fish could get more leveraqe to enable them to throw the hook. Never thought of that before.

...
Mackeral are masters at throwing trebles I reckon.....The single hook fixes them right up!

[krazyfisher]

first thing I do with new slugs is remove the treble and put on singles. I find it much better on tuna and macks

Once again thanks for the info guys!
What kinda size hooks would you put on say a 20 gram, 40 gram and 65 gram slug??? Simmo

Dunno if it'll affect casting with the smaller lures, but krisso and I tend to go with 4/0's for the 65's for tailor and 4/0 or 5/0's for the 85's

A bloke I used to work with used to use a single hook on homemade poppers. He was sick and tired of losing poppers to GTs and Queenies that he made his own as cheap as possible. He would cut a broom handle in lengths, pop wire trace through the middle,then glue it . Only a single hook and didn't even bother painting it. The first time I saw his poppers I thought there was something wrong with him but I was quickly proved wrong. He had no trouble hooking up and they would stay hooked.

I still have trouble believing they used to work so well.

have been told a single hook is harder to throw and gets a beeter connection/hook up
