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.

    Cut the treble off and add a sinlge hook on a split ring

    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.
