Andrew Poulos:
Found one of the gillies stickbaits, but doesnt appear to be the new one that Hal has..but still looks good to try out.

Greg Burt:
Artical on stickbaits by Scott Bannerot with Damon, in Apr/May BlueWater mag. Some lures wearing singles.

we've had the discussion on singles versus trebles a few times now, including on this site. I think the general consensus is that you get a better hookup with singles but you get less hookups. Like Neil, I also firmly believe that singles work bettter when trolling. The Nomad boys swear by their singles (they use Owner Jobus off split rings) but I don't know how much of this is driven by the inaccessibility, price and performance of the top trebles. While it hasn't happened to me, I certainly know a number of GT fishos who have seen their trebles compromised, including those hideously prices Decoy GTs and Gamakatsu Recorders.

A number of guys who have gone to singles are running big assist hooks like SJ-51s and tying them on.

Luke Wyrsta:
Here is a Carpenter stickbait with 9/0 SJ51s attached with split rings.
