Triple Hooks vs Double Hooks

[TimTDP]

I understand that triple hooks may catch more fish but do more damage.
A tackle shop recommended using two hooks. As per attached photos
Or should I simply use a single hook?



Looking forward to your suggestions / recommendations

Thanks in advance

Have been using single hooks for many years now and dont have a problem.

I still prefer the single hook, especially on a lure where you know you can get the hook to face up. This reduces the chances of hooking rocks and other peoples line. If I miss a fish here or there because of that, well such is life.I remember catching a shad on a spoon with a triple hook. The shad took 1 hook through the bottom jaw and 2 hooks through the top jaw. That took me a while to get it off the spoon, as I did not have my big fishing box with everything in it, with me.
