Treble hook?

[Just_Bass]

A quick and easy fix is to cut off two of the three barbs with wire cutters. I've done that with all of my spinners (Mepps, Blue Fox, etc.) They still catch fish.

i can see a few problems regarding cut off regular treble hooks. First of all most treble hook on mini crank bait is small (size 10) removing two barbs and the hook would get even smaller, the hook up ratio might decrease dramatically (recommended single hook replacement usually longer and wider gap). Secondly if the lures are those suspended or slow sink type (most of mine) removing 2 out of three barbs, means removing weight which might impact on running depth.

Im still researching since most US market replacement hook are made from thicker wire unlike JDM hook. I like light wire hook so I can get bigger hook without changing much weight of the lures. I also plan to replace my floating lures with heavier hook to make it sink or suspended in hope to get deeper running depth but without interfering action of the lure.

I think too much lol.
