Treble Hooks on Diving PLugs
I want to change the treble hooks on my trolling plugs. I have two questions;
1) What size hooks should I use. 2) Do I need to replace the front and back? Or can I use just one or the other? Thanks |

Re: Treble Hooks on Diving PLugs
Treble hooks on diving plugs U certainly can dump the forward treble , a single tail treble will not cost U fish & certainly not effect the plugs action.
Also I would oversize the tail table & test lure with this change , if it still runs the way it should which I'm positive it will UR good to go ! One note of caution use a hi quality ex strong lightweight treble in making this change . I've also experimented with trolling lures by dumping trebles in favor of single assist hook selected on basis of lure size & species plug was to be used for on the troll. Noticed solid hookups & very few lost fish especially to jumps ! Did this many years ago when I chartered on Gt Lakes as well as ocean & one fish especially the offshore steelhead which we trolled about this time of season via PB & LC outfits seriously cut into my clients losses !! Back in the 80's I was part of a group that brought Seaguar , Momoi , Yozuri & Mega baits to market had a lot of expierance testing & developing all Mega Baits & some Yozuri plugs for east coast use , needless to say spent 100's of hours running all types plugs & rigging same !
