Good subject Flap, and seeing you have come to the realization that your sometimes purist views and chest pounding are annoying to some, I am hereby removing you from my ignore list. just kidding.

Seriously, I like to fish with techniques that employ the use of a single hook such as eels, jigs, and storms. I am results oriented, not caring much as to what the fish are caught on as long as the results are positive. I do not like things with treble hooks, never did, although I've had some memorable nights with plugs, they create tension for me. I hate digging multiple treble hooks out of fish, don't like the risk of hooking myself , don't want the likelihood of a treble coming out, bending, or foul hooking. With single hook offerings, your odds of landing a large fish are much greater IMO. For me it’s mostly big storms and jigs in the canal on conventional gear, and eels from the shore at night on spinning gear. I am beginning to warm up to sluggos now that the eel situation is taking shape. Kinda like em.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
