Treble hooks

[northeast1]

Still finding it hard to get cheap 100+ 6/0 treble hooks.....only ones that seem to be very cheap are the fladen ones and after using a few fladen trebles last year i would not wish them on anyone..love the mustard ones but £14+ for 50 is alot.

pay thousands for a boat,and scrimp on hooks
doesnt seem logical to me

Look after the pennys and the pounds will look after themselves.

aye richie,the jock in me upholds your sentiments fully but i would have thought £28 + a hundred a fair price for good quality hooks:question:

Do what i do Richie, use single hooks, just as good and easier to get out of the fish.

When you start using single hooks on the pirk and you hit that immovable object on the bottom and are convinced you've hooked the wreck......... then suddenly the rod tip dips towards the sea and line peels off the reel , the rod tip bounces again as the fish does some gut wrenching head shaking and then through your high tec braid you can feel , almost hear , the hook tearing through the skin of the fishes mouth and then one more dive towards the wreck and the hook hold gives and all goes slack bar the weight of the pirk ....................... just tell yourself it was probably only a three pounder hooked in the tail and would have came off anyway even with a treble on

agree with Arthur and Sless, stopped using trebbles many moons ago, used 6/0 singles for many years, still caught as many fish, but not as many wrecks.

[Charlton]

[Norman]

not convinced either way .... will try trebles with good quality hooks (sod the expense) but also try the new speed jigs with single hook (on TOP )

time will tell

did I say "time" ......... not long now .......
