single hooks for plugs?
i just read an article on tidal fish dot com about using only single hooks on lures (store bought, not homemade), and i was wondering if any of you guys go this route instead of using trebles.
i have only tied flies up to this point, and do about 99% fly fishing, but i am really interested in starting to build some plugs after the pictures that i've seen from you guys.
being that i don't keep fish, i like to release them as quickly as possible. i would think that a couple of single hooks hanging from a plug would be the ticket, but i don't know if that would mess with the action, etc. i'm sure that you would have to move up a few sizes to match the weight of the trebles when using a single, but what are the pros and cons.
thanks.
