First, let’s decompose (one) hook vs (two) hooks in performance terms: One Hook Pros: Efficiency: Easier and faster to release fish, thereby increasing lure time in the water.

A Deep Look at Hooks and Survival Rates of Striped Bass: Here at Hogy and Salty Cape, we have been thinking about the ways we can better contribute to conservation of these awesome fish we chase each year. At Hogy, we have committed huge resources for a small company like ours to research and develop lures that kick ass.

Weight and Balance: Hook size can affect the weight and balance of a lure, potentially altering its action. Larger hooks might weigh down a lure, changing its swimming pattern, while smaller hooks might allow for a more natural presentation. Optimal swimming the action of the lure.

We (as an industry and anglers collectively) are receiving new data indicating how damaging two hooks can be on a lure for catch-and-release fishing. As a result, we’re making big changes in on the hook front as we launch our # Hogy Hook 1 platform. Here, you’ll find an inside look on how and why we design lures
