In this article, we briefly blog about the characteristics of each single hooks & double hooks in the blade game.
Advantages of Double Hooks
In the blade game, the hook is used in combination with the high-speed rotating blades, so with a single hook, there are times when the hook does not stand up and lies on its side.
On the other hand, with a double hook, one of the hooks always moves in a standing position, thus increasing the hooking rate.
Also, in many cases, both hook points of a double hook are hooked at the same time, making it difficult for the hook hole to widen during a fight, and thus reducing the risk of hook-offs.
The one thing you have to keep in mind is that “the more hook points = the more hooking power required.”
Please be aware of this point if you are using a softer rod or if you usually use a looser drag setting.
Advantages of Single Hook
Because a single hook has only one hook point, the greatest advantage of a single hook is that it requires less force to penetrate than a double hook.
For anglers using lighter tackle or anglers with weaker hooking power, such as women, this may result in a higher catch rate.
One disadvantage is that the hooking rate is lower than with double hooks.
Due to structural reasons, the hook point is less stable than with a double hook, which inevitably results in more missed bites.
As described above, double hooks and single hooks in the blade game complement each other.
Understanding the characteristics of each hook and using them differently will lead to better fishing results for you.
