Pike Rig Help

[Simon N]

After Only Really Trying Pike Fishing This Winter, Someone Recommended To Me The Drennan Pretied Traces Which Use's 1 Standard Treble And One Double Hook. See Below For A Picture Of A Double Hook.





At £2.25 A Pre-Made Trace I Have Decided To Make My Own. I Found An Old Post By Richard Expalining Step By Step How To Make Them. I Know The Drennan Pre-Made Traces Have 1 Standard Treble And 1 Double Hook But Would It Be Safe To Use 2 Double Hooks Instead Of 1 Standard And 1 Double? Would My Hooking Rate Drop Using 2 Double Hooks?

I think it's all personal preference. The only down side is if the pike jump or shake their heads violently then a single barbless hook potentially might flip out. The best way is trial and error.

will be fine simon. i know a good few who fish useing only single hook so you are doubling chance there

will be easier for unhooking too, once made first rig will see how easy they really are
