I change all my hooks to singles, good sharp Gamakatsu Octopus singles. And use the wire hook loop on the rod, I won't buy a rod that doesn't have a hook loop. All my rods stand reel down in my fishing bucket that fits in the basket on my snowmachine. Haven't broken one or had a tangle in a long time using this method and single hooks are easier to remove from fish as well as harder to hook yourself with.
