@@AndrewsKnots The pliers you need are the Spro Micro Split Ring V pliers. The tiny V nose easily pops the smallest 4mm split rings I use on some tiny crankbaits. No more stabbed fingers or swearing!
Great video. I didn't fancy my chances of catching today in the chocolate coloured canal, so I used the time and converted my unused treble hooked lures 👍.
@@AndrewsKnots I certainly did. I have also ordered all the hooks (size 6) and the rings (4 mm) you sugested. The links are really very helpful. I love your attention to detail. Learning tons from your channel. Thanks again!
Great video. I'd like to know where you purchased, or how you made those hook covers. I have been looking for individual covers for my hooks and have not been able to find anything like you used in this video. Thank you!
Hey Andrew 👋 I want to ask you about the size of the hooks .Im looking to change the tribles of my 3cm. and 5cm. trout wobbler's with single one's but i don't know which size hooks i have to buy .
@@AndrewsKnots Still not working for me. First there is a message, "This item cannot be shipped to United States." Then below that it says, "Sorry, the page you requested can not be found:(" Not a very consistent message but bottom line, that item is not available to me (I'm in the U.S.). The second and third items are available, although the split rings have an estimated delivery of 30-50 days. P.S., I tried two different browsers, Firefox and Brave.
Less sea weed on single hooks. Be careful with floating wobblers or crank bait, if they are weighted to match that of 2x tripple hooks weight. Single hooks weigh less and can disrupt how the lure moves - especially at spin stop. Make a float test afterward
The only issue I can see with the weight is for critically balanced lures, which do sink slowly with factory matched trebles.. Other than that, single hooks actually improve the movevent of the lure as explained in the video. 👌
Not fished a treble hook in 3years all been replaced when i did use treble hooks i would crush all the barbs,as far as I'm concerned treble hooks should be banned,use a split ring remover tool makes the job very easy there only a few quid,i use them also for making titanium ninthol wire traces there fantastic to use,titanium ninthol wire traces are much better than standard wire traces much more Superior,para
Yes, trebles should be banned 👌👍 Which "split ring remover" do you use for 3 mm. rings? I am still to find one which would work for tiny rings.. Cheers
@@AndrewsKnots Andrew are you still looking for splitring pliers for 2mm rings i have found an absolute perfect pair on splitring pliers can open 2mm rings with ease and large rings so if your still after a pair of splitring pliers there great quality and cheap let me know i will check back here for your reply,para
If you could share that info here please for everyone to have a look? Obviously, I don't believe I would buy them as any pliers would not improve my current process. Thanks
I used a rapala minnow caught 2 fast bass in 10 min. Then when i was removing hooks from 2nd fish, the fish shook hooking me up with it. I had to go to clinic to remove the hook. I never want to use treble any more
If you dont need those big ugly split rings on your lure just cut them off with wire cutters it will be faster and less chance to hook your self with old treble hook :D
No new information here. Tried it before creating the video and it does not work! In theory you could cut off the split rings but for that you would need some heavy duty wire cutters as regular ones are designed for copper or aluminum wire BUT not for forged stainless steel as used for split rings. 👌 Cheers
Great advice from a Great Angler ps in reality we like the accent Andrew keep going....
Thanks, will do! 👌

Very true. I am still to find split ring pliers for 3-4 mm. rings though..

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hey, thanks for the great video, but you did not explain how to choose a correct hook size for the lure :) can you explain it in the comments section?
Great suggestion! 👍
Thanks
Thanks Andrew, very informative. Guess what i'll be doing next Sunday xD
Thanks.
Yes, please! Put aside some time to get it done 👍

Like these ones andrewknots.com/r/TrebbleGuard1
@@AndrewsKnots it looked like you had very small sleeves of rubber or silicon tubing that you slid over the individual hooks.
I deeply agree with that you said. That was a comprehensive piece of information! Do you know a nylon fishing line from Ali worth recommending?
As for simple mono I use Daiwa Hyper Sensor. Superb and cheap line..
@@AndrewsKnots You've made my day, thank you!
Great Video
Thanks Again👍
Thanks 👍

Hi,
It will depend on how fat your lures are but for these lenghts it will be sizes 8-12 👌
@@AndrewsKnots Thanks :)
Thanks, great video.
FYI, the first link for the "inline singles with big eyes" above is no longer valid.
Just checked: seems to work ok for me.
Please try again.

hi what size single hook for your fave trout minnows? thanks
For 4.5 cm. minnows I use size 8.
@@AndrewsKnots THANKS
Is it the same to just cut 2 hooks from the trebles and leave 1 hook exposed?
Tried that last year. It works but nowhere as good as normal single hook. Also, once 2 points removed the 3rd very rarely will be perfectly inline..
What size of hooks and split rings you are using?
In this video I used 4 mm. rings and size 6 singles. 👌
@@AndrewsKnots Thanks
Double treble is always double trouble Andrew.. 😇
True.
Less sea weed on single hooks.
Be careful with floating wobblers or crank bait, if they are weighted to match that of 2x tripple hooks weight.
Single hooks weigh less and can disrupt how the lure moves - especially at spin stop.

I do this when i can. I am still searching for replacements for feathered trebles on back of poppers, etc
Cool. Thanks for sharing.
