    What single hooks to use when replacing the trebles on my trout spoons?

    Thinking about switching the treble hooks out on trout spoons so that I don't have to worry about changing them when I go out to different waters and streams. But can't find any good suggestions on the best kind of hook to replace them with.

    Suggestions?

    Gamakatsu makes very good quality hooks.

    As dancer mentioned, gamakatsu are good. You’ll want siwash for the spoons, pick whatever size you need depending what size your spoons are. The open siwash are easy to install, just close the eye with pliers after you get rid of the trebles.

    Gamakatsu siwash
    But really any straight shank open eye hook.
    I have vision canada hooks, gamakatsu and eagle claw.
    Gamakatsu are the sharpest

    I've always loved Gamakatsu hooks.

    Lately, I've been switching all my spoons over the the Gamakatsu Big River Bait open eye siwash hooks.

    I've had bad experience with vision hooks snapping in half. Only use gamakatsu nowadays.

    another fan of the gammies, easier to find than owner hooks but both have been good for me

    you could try the trailing hook method too, I started trying this last year and so far I'm happy with the results, only do this on steelhead spoons though
