Saturday, March 20, 2010 3:23:21 PM PDT

More and more lures are coming with single siwash hooks as an option these days and more and more anglers are making the switch. Whether or not using single siwash hooks to replace treble hooks is "better" is a subject of some debate. I have heard compelling arguments backed by personal experiences on both sides. So,
