Thread: Treble vs. Single

On casting spoons, spinners and lures. Have switched out about a dozen recently and cannot try out due to ice. Before going forward with the rest, I thought I would post this. Would appreciate any info from anyone who has done this.

Change in action?
Barb vs. barbless? (target is sunfish/crappie)
Tipping spoons with 1"tubes, 1" gulp minnow etc. vs. plain single hook?
Leaving front hook off on doubles since sunfish usually hit from behind.?
Change in % of hookups?

I used open eye siwash on some applications which eliminated need for split ring. Eyes and hands don't work as well anymore and #1 rings are low as I can manage. The small rings can be real pain. Here's a pic. of the type of gear I am switching over.
