One hook or two?

bajakian · 02-16-2007, 06:47 PM

Do you guys rig your squids with one hook or two? If two, do you put the second hook in the head or do you leave it trailing like a stinger hook? And do you snell your hooks or crimp them? What kind of hooks and what size do you prefer?

I`d say one hook , it makes it easier to release a sword ..with out hurting it ...Crimp the hooks ... so far I like the Owner 9/0 black hooks... comes in a pack of 3 and sell for about 10- 12 bucks !

I use a single hook with a crimp. Hook size depends on the size of the squid. Small squid a 9/0 big squid a 10/0

Crimps, single hook, and various brands and sizes. Even circles.
