YES! I replace all of them with single hooks. Way less bother in the net

 

Captains what size single do you use . Thanks

 

I change mine out to number two trebles.

 

Any issues with bigger treble affecting the spoon action?

 

Have had several break.Replaced with a little larger treble.Does not seam to affect bites.

 

I add stinger hooks to all my spoons, lose very few fish.

 

I always put a number 2 or 4 on as soon as I open the package

 

Switched over all my large and magnum size spoons to a single siwash hook.

Slowly doing same on more popular smaller spoons as well. Better hook up and less tangle/ Chance of injury

 

Boatnut when you use the siwash hook do you put it on the split ring or direct to the spoon. Thanks. The hook will lay at different angles from one or the other.

 

For you guys running single hooks what kind and size?

i use 2/0 and 3/0 eagle claw jig hooks on spoones and they work good.
i was testing that for easy release,it work good then i never change back to treble hook.

 

I love OMG such great shared information, I just bought 25 treble hooks to replace on my Stingers due to a lot breaking. After reading this tread I'm scrapping the idea of replacing using treble hooks. I'm going with the single hook, I believe I might have a few less hook but I also think I will release more fish unharmed. Last time out I caught and released small fish 2 to 1 with a surprising amount being 8-10" I cringed removing
the trebles at the damage I was doing to these fish not to mention the extra time out of the water. I wasn't aware of Siwash hooks, these will make replacement so much quicker without messing with those snap rings. Ill take some ***** and cut them off as I change spoons.

 

I have been replacing all the hooks on Michigan Stinger Spoons. A majority of their spoons I have bought in 2016 thru 2017 had hooks that broke. Something has changed since the owner passed and his wife took over. I now buy their spoons and replace the hook when I take them out of the package. I now use red #4 VMC treble hooks that way I know which hooks have been changed. I figure my odds are better using treble hooks then single hooks.

 

Am I crazy to think if I’m buying a product I shouldn’t have to change anything? I use dreamweaver spoons and don’t have to spend more money fixing them. Would you buy a new truck and be happy if you had to buy new tires cause the ones that come with the truck were bad?

 

I think Stinger has s solid reputation for catching fish , for $4.99 they should come with high quality hooks. I bet they cost .25 to manufacture . If Dream Weaver had the reputation as Stinger for catching fish they would out sell 5 to 1. Next batch of spoons I’ll try Dreamweaver.

 

Dreaamweaver, silverstreak,and kranx catch fish just as well as stingers.

 

I guess I must be the only one with special Stinger spoons. Ours aren’t losing the paint and we aren’t having issues with hooks breaking. Michigan Stinger Spoons have not let us down yet with putting fish in the box or with the quality of their product. Sorry guys

 

If you unhook fish properly, you'll seldom ever break a hook. If you rip the hooks out you'll bend and break them but worse you'll tear up the released fish.

 

The same company that makes dipsys made these flutter spoons,and they came with a single hook. They catch fish and no lost fish,and are so much easier on the fish.I hate when small fish get all three hooks,it's hard to get them out without tearing the mouth really bad.
