4/0 treble, 1 hook thru the nostrils, 2 hooks up. works for me.if blues bite the back end off, let head sink to the bottom for bass.

Just in front of or just behind the dorsal fin. trebles will get you more hook ups than a single hook. Single hooks will hold better if you do hook a big fish. If you will use a single hook , use a wicked big one , like 9/0. the meat fisherman I know use the big trebles. Could even be 6/0 trebles?

lots of guys use a big treble and just let the fish swim as snagged. this is Ok if the bass are where you are snagging the bunker. If you need to catch bait , put in a live well and then move to the bass this doesn't work.

Don't use one that has been snag in the head or gills, they will die off quickly. Back, belly, tail good to go!
