Steelyhorn,

Regs have had us using singles on Kwikies and Flattys the past couple years on the Satsop. Some guys take both trebs off and use a single siwash on the tail, or off a bead chain from the belly. I prefer using singles on both with a barrel swivel. I use 4/0 on the K-15/T-50 sizes and 3/0 on the K-14/M-2 sizes. The plugs seems to run better with the larger size hooks than with smaller ones.

I haven't had any problems hooking fish and the singles seem to hold better than trebs when the silvers pull their barrel-rolling technique.

The only problems I've had are tangled hooks when I cast the plugs, which we often do for silvers on the Satsop. But this isn't a problem when backtrolling them for Kings.

Don't forget to wait on the hookset when using singles, as it seems even more important to wait for them to turn with the plug than it does using trebs.

Good luck.......


Fish on........
