Single hooks, ideal for swimming fish

Single hooks are, as their name suggests, simple. They have a single point with or without a barb. This is the best-known hook. They are widely used for baiting and drop-shotting, and are increasingly being used on swimming fish and spoons.

More and more swimming fish are being fitted with them, although there are still a few trebles. It is entirely possible to change your treble hooks for single hooks. Brands such as VMC and Owner offer single hooks in various sizes to replace your old trebles.

In addition, brands such as Sico Lure offer swimming fish fitted with trebles and spare single hooks.

Why use a single hook?

Smaller, with a single point, they hurt the fish less and are sometimes the only hook authorised on No Kill trout fishing routes in some private lakes.

What's more, it's easier to unhook than a treble hook, which helps to preserve your catch. This means you can easily unhook your fish while leaving it in the water without injuring it.

Highly recommended for trout fishing, these hooks are also used for other predators in private lakes to keep fish healthy.
