What fish can you catch with a double hook?
What is a double hook used for?
A double hook is two points for lures and some bait where a treble is too much and a single misses.
How is a double hook different from similar gear?
Two points, not a treble and not a siwash. Often used to replace a treble for easier unhooking or rules.
When should you use a double hook?
Use it when a water or a species rule bans trebles, or when you want extra grab on a spoon without three points.
What problems does a double hook solve?
It keeps some of a treble’s hook-up rate with less tangle in the landing net.
