Single barbless hooked spinners in Ireland

    I can't find any in Ireland and the waters I'm fishing in require no trebles or earthworms. Anyone know of anywhere that sells them or of a type of spinner I could exchange the trebles for a single on when I buy them?

    I'm just wondering if the treble rule is the same for the entire country? Is there some sort of list of rivers or chart I can look at that tells me what rules are what and for where?

    Thanks for any advice you can offer.

    Sorry viper I'm an amateur at this and have not fished in over 10 years. How do I cut it off and then add the single? Is there any videos out there demonstrating how to do it? :confused:

    Use a small pair of wire cutters to remove the treble from the spinner then follow the instructions on the video con747 posted. You need 4 items, wire cutters, split ring pliers, split rings and single LURE hooks in a size suited to the spinner you are using. I recommend Gamakatsu single lure hooks.

    Agreed, great hooks, and the singles seem to do a lot less damage to small fish, perch and the like, for light spinning.
