Modify Hard Baits for Big Fish

Most hard baits have two or three treble hooks. The problem with this setup is large fish and lengthy fights can cause those tiny hooks to open up or tear from a fish’s lip.

I adapted my hard baits to use a single large hook. It resulted in the successful landing of more big fish than with the original hardware.
