Treble Hook Selection for Specific Applications

Three-Pointer

MANY ANGLERS AREN’T FULLY AWARE of how important and involved hook selection really is. While strolling the aisles of tackle shops browsing the wide assortment of lures, anglers often overlook the most critical aspect. However, there’s more to a hook than a sharp point and the most experienced fishermen know there’s not a single hook that’s perfect for every situation. With industry-wide advancements in rod, reel and line technology, hook selection is more important than ever before.

Even more specialized and dynamic than the selection of tournament-approved circle hooks or the wide assortment of J-hooks is the collection of razor sharp treble hooks now available to anglers across all venues. With three hooks attached to a single eye, treble hooks mean serious business.

Yet even though many anglers now swap trebles for specialized inline single hooks that are safer for fish and fishermen, trebles are here to stay. It is their inherent shape and symmetry that help plugs, crankbaits and poppers to craftily mimic the appearance of natural forage.

A Whole Different Animal - Wild Cats that Got the Cream

MOST ANGLERS HAVE STRONG BELIEFS ABOUT WHAT HULL TYPE IS BEST. Running hard in rough water requires a seaworthy platform with the strength and stability to keep you safe, comfortable and dry. Among the different trends that have consequently become evident from the evolution of center consoles, boat builders are cornering a new niche of complex and competitive catamarans harnessing more outboard power than ever before. Breaking the barrier with innovative hull designs and deck layouts, the newest catamarans offer unobstructed fishability while providing increased fuel economy and speed per applied horsepower.

Underwater LEDs

MY CENTER CONSOLE WAS RECENTLY OUTFITTED with full spectrum color-changing underwater LEDs and I can’t wait to test them out. I’m aware of their ability to attract forage and predator species to the boat from dusk till dawn, but are high intensity LEDs effective at attracting life during the day? If so, what color shines brightest amid the natural light of the sun?
