What is the best way to rig hooks on these poppers? trebles, singles?? Any help would be appreciated.

The S-Pop 150 BH Short has a spinner blade off the tail. You can rig a treble on the belly but I wouldn't go any bigger than a ST-76 5/0. You can also run a Baker off the belly with SJ-41 11/0s. If you want to remove the spinner blade, you can run a single hook off the tail like a SJ-51 11/0.
If you want to run two trebles, I'd suggest you go back to ST-66s 5/0s. Two ST-76s will be too heavy.

Thanks brandon, would you suggest to take the spinner blade off or leave it on?

it depends - I don't mind taking it off it is attached with a split ring like a Fisherman is but Carpenters have to be cut off.
I think you're probably best off running a Baker off the belly and a single off the back.

Hi Darren,
I run a single ST-76 5/0 treble on the belly with much success. I keep the spinning blades on.
