[cool][#0000ff]I use single hooks on most of my spinners, even when it is not a requirement. I find that they hook just as well as trebles (maybe better) and they hold larger fish better than small trebles.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Since I am also a fly tier, I make many of the single hooks as fly patterns or as "bait bugs"...to which I add a piece of crawler or fish meat as added enticement. Shrimp works good as a "sweetener" for steelies.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Here is a pic of some of the trout models I make. They also work for steelies. I used to live in Sacramento and used them up and down the Pacific Coast.[/#0000ff]
