Great

Exactly what I need in size(s) and black color for making my winter steelhead/sea-run cutthroat combo spinner. Also great for my trout spinners in spring/early summer.

Swapping treble hooks on my spoons with these...

Swapping treble hooks on my spoons with these siwash hooks. Less snags in streams. Better for catch and release. Way easier on nets than treble hooks. Hook up ratio seems the same as treble

I use these hooks to replace the factory treble hooks on inline spinners and spoons when fishing for trout. I use the #10 size for the 1/8 oz. inline spinners - Rooster Tails & Panther Martins - and the #8 size for 1/8 or 1/4 oz. size spoons - Thomas Colorado or Kastmasters. The single hook is less likely to snag than the standard trebles, and it makes releasing the fish much easier. I haven't noticed any real difference in hook up ratios either. Plus, it practically eliminates that tangled mess you get when you put 3 or 4 spinners/spoons into the same tackle box compartment with the factory trebles on them.

I started swapping out the treble hooks on my 1/8 oz. spinners and similar sized spoons this year for trout fishing. I usually try the #10 hooks on the spinners and the #8 hooks on the spoons, since the spoons tend to be a bit larger. Two primary advantages I think. 1) unhooking a caught fish is much easier if there is only one hook shank & point instead of a treble hook, especially if the entire treble is inside the fish's mouth. 2) it is less likely to get snagged and is easier to get unstuck when I inevitably do get snagged on some of the rocks or other underwater obstructions while fishing the streams. I haven't noticed any difference in my hook up ratio when using the single Siwash hook vs. a treble.
