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.
