Barbless trebles

[allen]

Fishing in our barbless areas, some people have told me that rather than using barbless trebles you should replace the hooks with barbless singles.  Talking about Kwikfish, Alvins, etc., theory being the fish is hooked by one of the treble hooks, then when it bites down, the forward pressure on the hooks will cause the one that is hooked to pop loose.
I'm somewhat skeptical of this theory & would like others' opinions.

Trebels result in more hook ups but singles result in more landed.

Explaining a little better when a fish rolls up on your plug it can cause torque on the treble popping it out. Singles have a wider bite gap typically that hold more meat. A lot of guys run barrel swivels on their hooks too. It lets the fish spin without popping the hook.

O.K., so how do you hook up the barrel swivel?  Split ring to the swivel & then another split ring from the swivel to the hook?

Buy open eye hooks.

Buy open eye hooks.

Siwash hooks. Then crimp the eye down once its on the swivel.

I might be totally wrong but in selective gear areas you have to use single point hooks anyways?

[allen]

Open eye hooks?  Is that a siwash?  So then you'd go split ring to barrel swivel to hook?

No this is not the same thing.  I'm asking about the barbless requirement areas, the Columbia & tribs where barbless singles or trebles are allowed.  This is not the same as selective gear areas.

Gami big river bait hooks is where it's at. Open eye for plugs and the standard ones for fishing bait. Barbless trebles are worthless.

This is what I thought.

Only way to go for single hooks.  Barbless or not singles are the way to go.  You will land a higher percentage of the fish you hook.

Trebles of any kind are for bass plugs and trout spinners imo.  Salmon and steelhead, singles are the only way to go even on plugs.
