Looking for...Double hook to replace trebles

Post by banjo »

Does anyone know where I can find locally, double hooks similar to below,

Now they don't have to be exactly like this, they can either be split or welded ( I wouldn't mind some of each )
They are intended to replace some of the trebles on my musky hard baits, so a half decent size.

Has anyone else done this? Any suggestions on size and any experience? I am hoping they will lie up against the body of the bait better ( hook shaft against and the 2 hook points facing down) and maybe be easier on the finish as well. Any input is appreciated, thanks.

I just bent two of the hooks out flat on a normal treble. It will then tuck up nice and not destroy your baits paint job. And you still get all three hooks. As for the hooks your looking for, I would check some salt water sites. Jon

If they're the ones that go on the Williams spoons then ProNature has a bunch that they accidentally ordered. 613.419.1419.

I have some at the store in 4/0 and 6/0. They are designed as replacement hooks for hollow frogs, but I think they would work for your application as well, at least the 6/0.

Why not just cut off the third hook from a treble?
Damn right I'm good in the sack...I can sleep for hours!

Just make sure it's the welded on hook.
