Trebles on spinners

[walleyeslammer]

I would like to tie some spinners with number 10 trebles as the second hook. Is that legal in MN

[JohnMickish]

Yes it is. The rules was clarified in the 2011 book. It is considered ONE lure so you can have multiple hooks.

[hanson]

Yes. Prefer to tie all my harnesses with a treble as the 2nd hook.

I used to tie my spinners with a treble on the back hook. There were days that I seemed to 'dump' a lot of fish on the way to the boat. Last year, I started tying some with two #2 Octopus hooks. A Mustad wide gap in the front, and a Gamakatsu in the rear. I instantly notice a lot more fish ending up in the net. More times than not, the Mustad hook was buried in the 'beak' of the walleye. I'm sold.

I see no need for a treble. I actually found them to collect a lot of debry so I stick to two single #4 or #2 hooks. Only place I ever run a treble on the back is out on Lake Superior and even then its not very often because I already have hundreds of other spinners with single hooks already tied up.

I also have talked to guys who say they got rid of the trebles because they felt they were losing fish because of them. I know a lot of guys who have gone to single hooks on their spoons because of that reason.

my brother has single hooks on all of his spoons on lake superior. he also says he has better hooking results with them. on spinner crawler rigs i only have two single hooks i tie myself. i feel it gives the crawler a better "look" when trolling. good luck.

Around anything that can snap on your harnesses - use all singles..

But, if trolling open water or suspended, try a #8 Mustad Triple Grip.
