jigging spoon hooks
Do you guys generally fish jigging spoons with treble hooks or single hooks or does it depend on where you're fishing? If you use a single hook, what size/type of hook do you use?

I think they're fished with trebles. And you really should add a split ring on the top, help reduce line twist a lot.

I know most of the ones sold come with trebles, sure seems like you could lose a lot spoons in a days fishing.

Can't remember where I read it but change the hook to the line tie and tie to the reg hook end. Supposed to give a nice different action. Something the fish haven't seen.

The spoons I use for open water schooling fish always have trebles. I don't know what the hookup ratio would be if you tried a single hook, but I'm guessing not very good.

I just remembered watching a show about them. Right out of the package, he replaced the stock treble with a Rapala Sure Set hook, and added a split ring to the top.
He also said, when the bite was tough, he added a feathered treble on the line above the spoon, so it when he ripped it up off the bottom, it looked like it was chasing something smaller. BB

I swap most trebels for single hooks on jiggging spoons. My hook up ratio is no worse than with a regular jig. It's easier on the fish being released and I loose fewer lures to snags. I leave the trebel hook on swimming spoons.

always trebles and always triple grips. Best hook up ratio, and dont get snagged as often from the turned in points.
