What are double hooks and where are they used?

What are double hooks and where are they used?
Double hooks have two points on one shank and are often used for predator fishing.

They are common on deadbait rigs, some spoons and special lure setups.
Double hooks give good hooking power while staying more compact than a treble.

In snaggy or weedy spots a double hook can sometimes tangle less than a treble.
That’s why many anglers pick doubles as a smart compromise between singles and trebles.

How to choose double hooks?

How to choose double hooks?
Start with the size of your lure or bait and the average size of fish you target.

Smaller doubles work well for modest-sized deadbaits and medium lures.
Bigger doubles are better for large deadbaits, big spoons and trophy pike rigs.

Pay attention to size, wire thickness and the angle between the two points.
If you’re not sure what that means in real life, tell Jahikala how you fish and we’ll suggest concrete models and sizes.

Double hooks vs treble hooks – which is better?

Double hooks vs treble hooks – which is better?
Treble hooks have three points and can sometimes snag more easily, but doubles can hook very well while doing a bit less damage.

Double hooks are easier to unhook and slightly safer around nets and fingers.
On some lures replacing trebles with doubles can reduce snagging without hurting your catch rate.

At Jahikala we can help you choose doubles that fit your split rings and keep your lure balanced.
So you upgrade your hooks without ruining the action of your favourite bait.
