Nice looking conversion.

Interesting for sure. They will work.
Good luck!
i like the tail spinner add on
Top left has my eye, that’ll all catch fish. Good job.
So with the hook pointed back at the bait.... I would imagine you would lose fish. Why a single vs a treble?
While trebles will catch more than a single hook, all other things being equal, tons of fish have been caught with a single/sidewash type hooks.
Many think that barbs are important too. I heard a pro bass fisherman say that he changes out the hooks on his crank baits to those with smaller barbs. Why? Better penetration. More fish caught. Sometimes things are more complicated than they first appear.
When only using one single hook the positioning pointing to the rear is correct, if using two single hooks on a lure the front one would be pointing towards the front of lure. I started a thread on Feb. 10 (TREBLES VS. SINGLE) which if you read member replies, will give a lot of excellent reasons for not using trebles for panfish. I hope this helps. Thanks.Quote:

Those little lures had 2 trebles on them =6 points. Just seemed to be too much. I was changing out trebles on everything I have and thought I would modify a couple for next year. Who knows, they may not work. Sunfish have such small mouths so I figures the singles will be much easier on them.
A different animal, but I use the single hook trout rooster tail spinners. So much more weedless that I throw them into a lot more places than I can a treble. Hook up to land ratio no different that I can tell. A nine inch gill tries to kill it once they decide it’s dinner, they aren’t much into tasting. I would imagine that the belly spin and tail hook versions above would be significantly more weedless, I’d have to try the others before I weighed in on them.

The tail spin versions remind me of a ultralite Yozuri discontinued years ago that were gill killers. 1 3/8" 1/16th oz.( Alie Killifish) floating. They also had a 1/8th oz. one that was sinking(Aile Goby). They both had a belly treble and a plastic tail paddle. Really neat little lures.Attachment 394681Attachment 394683
I snip off two of the hooks on the treble of a rooster tail in my trout box only to make sure I’m legal on some trout streams here in Georgia. I’m considering replacing all trebles with a single hook. I use the same lures for bream so it will probably be easier to just replace all hooks to keep from making a mistake that Mr Green Jeans can write a citation. One can receive the citation even if you have a treble hook in your box.
Green Jeans is that throrough to search your box? That said, I guess our guys will check you pretty good on our heritage and top of the line trout streams, particularly if you’re fishing with spinning gear.Quote:
