Replace Treble Hook with Single Hook on Fishing Lure | BoatUS

Do a lot of catch-and-release fishing? Or maybe you're reeling in a lot of undersized fish you want to throw back. While treble hook fishing lures are extremely effective, they do a lot of damage to the fish and aren't great if you want to set your catch free. BoatUS Magazine fishing editor Lenny Rudow shows you how to easily swap out treble hooks for single fishing hooks on your fishing lures to make releasing a fish easier and safer. It's a simple process: All it takes is some single hooks and a pair of split ring pliers. He demonstrates on a Stillwater Smack-It lure at All Tackle (alltackle.com) in Annapolis, Maryland.
