Ok all you sharpies! I'm watching these you tube videos about guys catching Fluke with hard jerkbaits. Here the thing, Treble hooks can be a real PitA! and I don't feel like getting hooked myself.
So my question to you all is
What size do you use as a replacement or is there a rule of thumb in replacing the trebles with the single inline hook.
I have a 3 in jerkbait, a 4 1/2 in jerkbait and 6 inch jerkbait
What are your suggestions for replacement hooks?
How to? Select single in line hook

I honestly have no idea. The guy you want to talk to about this is Roger/Buddha162. Or look on his YouTube channel “Catch and Cook.”

I would not be able to help you on the make etc of an inline hook replacement. But I can tell that you need to be careful changing hooks on plugs, especially swimmers. They were designed and engineered to run with a specific hook size and weight. I learned many years ago that changing a hook's profile and/or weight completely changed the action on a plug. And went fishless until I figured that out.

I was able to find something!
Excellent point about changing the swim dynamics of a plug when changing the hooks - Honestly didn't even think of it!
Here is the general rule when replacing your treble hooks with inline single hooks:
The Inline single hook gap should be equal to or as close to the gap between any two points of the treble hook
