Here's an idea for the "double hook" guys. I have already tested it over a two year (season) test. Try a single 2/0 and your usual 2-hook set up. Keep a log...I did. I found that I didn't catch any more fish with double hooks than I did with a single 2/0. I have to keep reminding myself of that, especially when I'm going through a streak of losing fish. I had streaks of losing fish with double hooks, too. Right now I'm using eagle claw #1's and they are too small to get a good bite beyond the corkie diameter, and I'm not real sure they have enough allowance to get well beyond the jaw bone, even if I use just yarn. But I'm using them because I had two boxes just sitting around...stupid reason, as I am very unimpressed again by their performance. Bait users probably like the double hook tie up most because of the size bait presented (whether shrimp or roe), but since I don't use bait, I have no use for double hooks. Besides singles tie up quicker, store compactly, and release fish easier. If I could stand spending the money on those freaking over priced hooks, I'd use gami's.....in my opinion, a very well made hook.
