| it seems to me that the front hook on the tandem spinnerbait is covered with too many feathers and that that hook doens't hook a single fish. And I also feel that the trailer single hook is a bit too thick to get a good hookup. I know some guys in Holland who remove the trailerhook and add a treble with 150 pound test cable wire. Now they hardly ever miss a northern.
Do any of you guys change the hooks on the funky chickens. Other than that they runs really nice and are rock solid.

| I've had no problem hooking fish on the Funky Chicken. It has been one of the better spinner baits that I have used. I would not even think of changing the trailer hook to a treble. I like to get them down into the weeds and I would think that the treble would not allow this. |

| I haven't had any problems with hook ups either.
I prefer the single hooks for speed trolling through the slop or knocking into timber or bouncing off of structure. If you put a treble on the back, you will have problems fishing those types of areas.
If you were only going to fish deeper water where hang ups weren't going to be a problem, then a rear treble would be the way to go.
I like them exactly the way they come for the applications that I use them for. |

| Just a thought, which penetrates the easiest, a single hook point or possibly three hook points? Seems to me that one point even if it is a thicker heavier gauge hook would penetrate faster and easier than three hook points even if each has a narrower or thinner profile. Just an obsevation on my part.

| I use the Funky Chickens a lot, and have had no problems with hook-ups. I use them in the standing timber on Kinkaid and Shelbyville, and love them because they don't snag up that much, and they also catch a lot of fish. They are also one of the best baits I have found for fishing the reeds or bullrushes on northern lakes. I wouldn't change the hooks!! |

| what I would like to know from you guys is which hook actually hooks them? I fear that the front hook won't do it properly but if I sharpen the rear hook, that one will be fine so to hear from you. I have the same problem with shads. If the distance between the shad's body and the single hook of the leadhead isn't sufficient, I loose 'em all. I think that the distance between the tied feathers isn't large enough. Maybe I'm just imagining things?! [;)]
So which hook hooks 'em for you? |
