Just saw this post today. I switched over all ultralite gear I have last month.
Cultiva S55 #6 Crankbait, Jerkbait, Topwater & any other type of lure.
Cultiva S21 #8 spoons & spinners -added split ring even if did not have before (personal preference) hooks swing more freely with the split rings.
Gamakatsu open eye siwash #10 spoons & spinners -also used on rooster tails without a split ring(easier to do with skirts) Also can be used on plugs with or without split rings. With as long as you add a extra split ring so hook aligns properly.(hook swings more freely with split rings) As I stated on the panfish forum, I used Finesse-Fishing.com and FishUSA. Both great companies to deal with!

On lures with 2 hooks, I removed front treble and just replaced the rear, because I am targeting sunfish, which normally hit from behind. If using both, some put front hook pointing forward for fish hitting from the front. Some point both to rear (maybe to avoid snags better). Rear hook always point towards rear.

As I said, just changed over last month so I won't comment on results of hookups or losses. These are better quality hooks than what you are removing in most cases so I would think losses would be reduced. Did for the health of fish released and ease of removal. With the use of correct tools, its a pretty easy fix. If I can be of any other help let me know.
