(Image removed from quote.)Does anyone change the treble to a single hook? If so why? I am sort of thinking that a gill won't take the treble. I picked a bunch of these up cheap at gander mountain. Mainly target crappie, perch, and gills.
If its in my ice fishing box its always single hooked. Think about it, your on a big school of perch, every fish you catch just about has your hook half way to its inners lol you have to stop and fish it out sometimes being a real bummer especially if its a treble. with a single hook it takes half the time allowing you to get back in the water quicker therefor catching more fish. I didnt think this to be an issue till a friend of mine (a veteran ice fisherman) layed it down to me just like i did for you. it also allows better fish survival for i have seen people just rip a treble out of a fish only to leave it on the ice with half its guts in its mouth to die and its usually the smaller ones you wouldnt keep anyways. 1 less fish to catch in the future
