I have no problem throwing a spinner blade with a single hook. In fact my last two fish were on Bigtooth Blades but for some reason I do not have the same confidence in a bucktail with a large single hook.
Your thoughts?

I’ve had excellent luck with lily tails. Good hooking baits.

I make my own bucktails and have used single hooks almost exclusively for the past three years. Thus, I have much less fear throwing them into thicker weeds.

I've had a couple fish grab Eagle tails where I saw the lure inhaled, set the hook and watched as the lure slipped out of the fishes mouth. Not too confidence inspiring, I prefer trebles.

Single hook bucktails are good around cover, but I don't see how they could possibly hook-up as well as trebles. I seem to have better hook-ups if single hooks are off-set, but then they snag more weeds.

Manny of my old spinnerbaits have been ruined after being cut out of fish.
They hook and hold great.

I have gotten more follows/bites on a toothys tickler which is a bucktail with 3 separate single hooks with 3 separate grubs on it than any other bucktail I’ve thrown. Amazing bait for attracting fish but I don’t think that it has the hookup ratio of a treble hook bait
