a redgill is soft and flexible, thus the single hook is under hardly any leverage, while a trebble on a 9 or 12 inch plug is under a great deal of leverage..... its hard to explain, but think of a bass taking a 12 inch needle by the tail and then the belly hook foul hooks on the bass's gill plate, while your reeling the fish in, the needle is pointing away from you and has 6 inches of leverage between the nose loop and the belly hook, so for every poound of pressure you pull on it, the hook is recieving much much more force.
