      or a body… ???

      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
      Well, I have others.

          Oh, I am…...Actually I am weighing and sorting my Bass lures by type....

          What type of bass?

          Maybe so. Maybe not

            You converted all your plugs and poppers to single inline hook? That’s the best. Lose less fish that way.

            Maybe so. Maybe not

              Proper Bass…..

              Some of my bass lures are rigged with in-line singles (I mainly fish with singles in the Tropics), but some are still rigged with trebles or a single and a treble....

                Proper bass over here

                I’m converting my poppers, darters and jigs to
                Single hooks. Can use a bigger sharper hook than on a treble.

                Maybe so. Maybe not

                  You could always use a mechanics chest to store your lures.  Just an idea.

                      Nice rigs

                      What in-line hooks do you use for replacements?

                        For big hooks, I always use BKK.  They are the strongest that I know of, apart from a super rare Japanese artisan maker…

                        For smaller lures, I use VMC 7237

                        or these Cox and Rawle...

                          @Matty123 just remember that Largemouth bass is the king in the U.S. and the most sought after record fish. In Minnesota walleye is the most famous, but bass is still my favorite.

                          22" and around 6lb (no scale). I know this isn't your giant ocean fish, but these are great fighters on the right equipment.

                          till my favorite.
